About this industry
A ridge-top repeater is a site defined by what it does not have — no grid, no crew, and a winter that swings hard against the electronics in the cabinet. Prater Technical Partners supplies the power and the heat: SunWize Hybrid solar-plus-generator and fuel-cell systems for repeater, BTS, and microwave-link loads that outgrow a practical PV-only array, skid-mounted SunWize Power Station units for permanent sites set in one forklift move, and Hi-Heat silicone-rubber, polyester-film, and wire-wound heaters that hold the cabinet above freezing and clear of condensation. A solar-ready Telog RS-45 RTU handles cellular telemetry backhaul, taking a DC input from the SunWize array. Prater Technical works with you to spec each one from the load, the site’s sun-hours, and the cabinet drawing.
