NEC XON has partnered with INCell International to use its smart lithium technology to serve the needs of wireless and tower communications operators, macro and small cell sites, and the commercial and industrial sectors in Africa with off-grid, micro-grid and backup energy systems. Under the cooperation with NEC XON, INCell will prepare to manufacture in the African continental free trade area. The partners will establish manufacturing capabilities in South Africa with local services options by NEC XON to better serve continental customers by shortening lead times and reducing costs.
INCell develops some of the world’s most advanced lithium batteries to provide backup power for telecoms sites and employs innovative engineering controls to successfully make lithium solutions that are safe for robust industrial-commercial applications, NEC said. Jointly NEC XON and INCell offer products and services for smart lithium power backup which will help mobile operators and tower companies improve predictability and lower operational cost.
