Bellingham, Wash., June 11, 2010 - With the recent introduction of the XM2-300HP, 300 watt CableUPS®, Alpha Technologies Inc. is enhancing its position as the world leader in Broadband power systems.

"The new XM2-300HP CableUPS provides operators with an economical system solution to increase their network reliability when performing node segmentations and fiber deep deployments. As a new feature, our Alpha Apps for battery and power supply maintenance predictability are the first step towards revolutionizing our platform," said Jim Heidenreich, VP of Product Management for Alpha. "All of this innovation is packed into a CableUPS and LPE Enclosure system that is one-third the size of a typical XM2/PWE3 system at half the price."

The XM2-300HP has the highest available efficiency, and the most advanced intelligence monitoring in the market. This allows MSOs to reduce their energy expenses and minimize unnecessary maintenance and site visits.
