Its goal is to promote GSM as the worldwide mobile communications standard. See GSM Association and GSM. ) to sell its Rotary UPS (uninterruptible power supply See UPS. (hardware) Uninterruptible Power Supply - (UPS) A battery powered power supply unit that is guaranteed to provide power to a computer in the event of interruptions in the incoming mains electrical power. ) to the federal government community through the GSA. The GSA is the federal government's procurement expert. They contract for billions of dollars' worth of products and services, securing buildings, products, technology and other essentials for federal agencies.

In addition to our Rotary UPS product, the GSA approval also covers our Static Voltage Regulators and Static Transfer Switches, two important power control products." SatCon's UPS systems can also be used in factories, hospitals, airports and municipal power systems such as water treatment plants. SatCon Technology Corporation manufactures and sells power control systems for critical military systems, alternative energy and high-reliability industrial automation applications. Products include inverter (1) A logic gate that converts the input to the opposite state for output. If the input is true, the output is false, and vice versa. An inverter performs the Boolean logic NOT operation. (2) A circuit that converts DC current into AC current. Contrast with rectifier. electronics from 5 kilowatts to 5 megawatts, power switches, and hybrid microcircuits for industrial, medical, military and aerospace applications. SatCon also develops and builds digital power electronics, high-efficiency machines and control systems for a variety of defense applications with the strategy of transitioning those technologies into multiyear production programs.% |
