NATCO Strengthens Backup System for Emergencies

NATCO Communications recently completed installation of a new emergency power protection system for all services, said Steven G. Sanders Jr., vice president and plant manager.

“Increased backup strength has been a priority of ours, and it feels good to know we are well-prepared in case weather conditions threaten to interrupt normal services,” he said. Sanders believes NATCO customers are the best prepared in the region when it comes to protection against interruptions of telephone service and Internet services, whether dialup or high-speed DSL.

Sanders explains that the new Nfinity UPS equipment corrects all types of power fluctuations and extends battery life. Installed at Lead Hill, the new equipment will help customers experience reliable service in the face of commercial power fluctuations and lightning strikes.

“NATCO already had generator backup on its equipment,” Sanders stressed, and added, “The new system will allow seamless transition from commercial power to backup power.”

NATCO land lines continue to work when there is a general power failure. The new backup disaster recovery system NATCO has available will further assure phone service availability.
