Edge Power Solutions is an innovative company that has bootstrapped itself over the last 9 years of constant R&D and product improvements. The company is led by Jeromy Kendall, RCDD/OSP. Jeromy is an electronics and infrastructure engineer with over 30 years of experience. It is from this experience and insight into the future of low voltage power requirements that the idea behind "Intelligent Power" was formed, and Edge Power Solutions was established.
EPS is an engineering and manufacturing firm. We produce the only intelligent low voltage power distribution system and accessories in the market. We are weeks away from releasing our universal programable DC-DC lighting driver that will be a major catalyst in changing the way commercial lighting is installed and powered. This innovation will put our Intelligent Power System front and center in the lighting power market in addition to the wireless, IT, DAS, and Building automation markets that we serve today.
Our primary product is our Intelligent Power Series (IPS) multi-channel low voltage power distribution platform. This product provides power for IT equipment, DAS (Cellular & Emergency Radion Systems), Building Automation Systems, Security Equipment and Direct DC LED Lighting. Our systems add intelligence to the power delivery that allows our systems to fully integrate with the systems for which we are providing power. We believe that our systems will be the basis of development for countless supplemental technologies.
Outside for the base usage of providing reliable power to low voltage devices, there are so many examples of the potential uses of platform below are just a few.
- Wi-Fi 7 & Wi-Fi 8 device powering: The increased bandwidth requirements of wireless devices will force a move from traditional copper network cabling to a fiber optic-based transmission media. When this occurs, the traditional way of powering these devices (Power over Ethernet) will go away along with the ability to power reset the device remotely. This is where our IPS power distribution units are poised to step in.
- We can power these devices from a central location on less expensive wire, at greater distances and provide more power to the device than tradition POE power.
- We can directly or indirectly integrate with the Wi-Fi system via our restful API or via SNMP to facilitate power control commands for the purposes of power resets or information gathering.
- DC LED Lighting: The advent of LED lighting has produced tremendous energy savings over the past several years by providing 100W equivalent lighting drawing a fraction of the Watt equivalent. Given that all LED lights are low voltage DC it is a logical next step to power them directly with low voltage DC power vs powering them with high voltage AC and converting to DC power at the fixture. We are not supporting POE lighting but rather direct DC lighting. Our PDUs are not positioned to provide safe and reliable power and to easily interface with existing lighting control systems on the market today but our systems are positioned to be the base of future lighting control systems.
- Direct DC lighting is wired in the same methods as current AC lighting except for a much smaller footprint of wire is used.
- Direct DC lighting is considered "Low Voltage" or "Class 2" power meaning that it is considered saft to touch and can be installed without conduits or expensive electrician labor.
- Direct DC lighting is 25-40 percent less expensive to install that traditional AC lighting.
- Power Output used as Inputs: On the surface using a power output as an input seems ridiculous. The intelligence in our platform makes it anything but. Our systems monitor the current usage on the output ports on a granular level. Because of this current changes in the items that we power can be recognized and used to trigger events in our systems or pass the information on to other systems for event triggering or notification.
- A couple examples of the use of this feature:
- The IPS PDU powers an occupancy sensor. When that occupancy sensor activates the current changes. The IPS system utilizes that information to turn power on or off within the platform or sends that information to the lighting control system for response.
- The IPS System powers a 4 radio DAS module. Each radio in the module draws .25amps for a total of 1 amp. If current usage drops to .75 amps, this could indicate that one of the radios is out of service and a notification can be sent.
As you can gather from some of the information above, at EPS we have built a powerful power platform that has real world uses today and a wide range for future uses. This has been accomplished and maintained by the talented team that we have assembled and over 8 years of R&D.
We have a talented team of Electrical and Software engineer partners with decades of experience on sophisticated systems.
We also have a dedicated team of applications and cloud services engineers who are responsible for AWS and AWS Gov Cloud management platform as well as our client facing interface.
We have a wide range of existing customers many have been with us since the beginning, and we add more weekly. Our customers consist of the following.
- Low Voltage Systems Installation and Contracting Firms
