Having won an order to provide power to 300 base stations across Saudi Arabia for one of the regions largest new telecoms projects, Shanghai Cooltech Power specified 170 reputable STAMFORD® P1 alternators, capable of performing in the harsh environmental conditions.

One of the world’s leading and fastest growing integrated telecoms providers, ZTE was awarded the contract to deliver a new telecommunications broadband project in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia’s largest Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) operator, Atheeb Telecom, approached ZTE to build the country’s first WiMAX network, deploying 300 base stations in the process. The WiMAX network will help meet the growing demands of the rapidly developing region by providing high-speed broadband services.

Shanghai Cooltech Power Co. Ltd. was tasked with powering the base stations and specified STAMFORD® alternators for the project in the knowledge that STAMFORD | AvK would bring local telecoms market expertise and would tailor solutions to excel in the challenging environmental conditions of Saudi Arabia.

Given the extreme temperatures, Shanghai Cooltech Power knew they needed to partner with STAMFORD | AvK for the assurance of experienced Application Engineers to specify the right alternators for this application.

Furthermore, they were already aware of the premium quality of the STAMFORD® brand of reliable alternators from the strong ten-year relationship they have with STAMFORD | AvK.

"Given the extreme temperatures, Shanghai Cooltech Power knew they could rely on STAMFORD | AvK for the assurance of experienced Application Engineers to specify the right alternators for this application."
