Galaxy 4000 and Power-Protected PoE Midspan Recognized as Finalists in the Prestigious INNOVATION Awards Competition
August 29, 2005 (Press Release) --
COSTA MESA, Calif. – August 29, 2005 – MGE UPS SYSTEMS INC., the technology leader in providing unsurpassed power protection solutions to computer data centers, telecommunications and industrial operations, today announced that its Galaxy 4000 Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) and Power-Protected Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) midspan solution were selected as finalists in the power quality and voice-data-video (VDV) categories, respectively, for the Electrical Contracting Products 2005 INNOVATION Awards. The INNOVATION Awards honor outstanding companies whose products and services have best responded to electrical contractors’ market challenges.
“We’re honored that the electrical contracting community continues to recognize MGE for its innovative, easy to use and cost effective power solutions,” said MGE’s Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Mike Chmura. “These awards further underscore our commitment to delivering the highest quality products, such as the Galaxy 4000 UPS and PoE midspan, to meet customers’ needs across a wide range of power-critical applications including the special requirements of next generation infrastructure.”
MGE’s online double-conversion Galaxy 4000, available in power ratings of 40/50/65/75 kVA, is designed to meet the stringent power demands of critical data center and industrial facilities. Featuring Digital Power Quality Management for precision voltage regulation along with advanced IGBT technology that virtually eliminates damaging input harmonics, the Galaxy 4000 is able to greatly improve input power quality, which significantly increases reliability and reduces costs. The advanced features of the Galaxy 4000 allow for installation using smaller cabling and breakers as well as a low UPS-to-generator (1:1) sizing.
The first and only UPS vendor to offer a total power solution for converged networks, MGE combines a PoE midspan, a centralized UPS and monitoring software to ensure continuous power to remotely connected IP telephones, wireless LANs, access points and IP-powered video surveillance systems. The midspan and an extended runtime MGE UPS allows VoIP phones to realize up to “five nines” of reliability (99.999 percent), and overall quality of service (QoS) is greatly enhanced for the entire network. The 1U 24-port, 10/100 Mbps midspan is also available with a Web-based SNMP management option that remotely controls the midspan and gathers essential telemetry.
The winners of the 2005 INNOVATION Awards will be announced at an awards ceremony September 18, 2005 at the National Electrical Contractors Association’s (NECA) Show in New Orleans.
