WHAT IS
DIGITAL
ELECTRICITY

?

If you’re Nikola Tesla, you get it, but if you’re Thomas Edison, you’re probably asking yourself, “Huh?” We’re not all as smart as Tesla, but Digital Electricity can be easily explained.

HOW IT WORKS

Conventional Electricity

Electricity

AC or DC analog electricity goes from the electrical grid to the transmitter.

DE Transmitter

Transmitter

The Transmitter converts the analog AC or DC electricity to Digital Electricity.

Structured Cable

Structured Cable

The Digital Electricity packets are sent to a convertor through low-cost structured cable.

DE Receiver

Receiver

The receiver converts the Digital Electricity back into analog AC or DC electricity.

Local Loads

Local Device

The electricity is sent to a power load device like a light bulb or appliance.

Revolutionizing the future of energy

There has not been much innovation around electricity since Tesla and Edison battled it out in the late 1800s. VoltServer’s Digital Electricity™ is a groundbreaking new way to distribute power. Digital Electricity™ allows for controlled power distribution that is safe, less expensive, faster to install, more energy efficient, and meets the needs for an increasingly digital world.

Digital Electricity™ is a line powering system.

Line powering is a means of energizing remote equipment, from a centralized location, over
structured copper cable.

Digital Electricity™ systems offer the convenience and safety of low-voltage, like Power over
Ethernet (PoE), with the power and distance capabilities of AC.

The technology leverages our patented packet energy transfer to deliver significant power over significant distances. The technology splits energy into packets and transfers hundreds of packets each second from a Transmitter unit to a Receiver unit. Safety is continuously monitored after every packet and if there is a fault such as improper wiring, a short circuit, or a person is touching the transmission lines, the transmitter recognizes the condition in milliseconds and halts the transmission of packets. The result is safe electrical transmission at high power levels and an inherent ability to digitally control a host of modern electronic devices connected to the distribution system.

Take Control of Your Energy

Digital Electricity™ technology is natively data-based with inherent intelligence built-in. Monitor and control from any location with included software. Audit power consumption in real-time.

VoltServer’s technology is installed in marquee venues around the world including:

  • Sports Stadiums and Arenas
  • Class A Office Towers
  • Hotels and Resorts
  • Airports and other Passenger Terminals
  • Macro towers, Rooftop macros, and Small cells
  • Warehouses and Manufacturing facilities
  • Industry Leading Controlled Environment Agriculture Facilities

Digital Electricity™ systems offer the benefits of low-voltage with the power and distance capabilities of AC.

Proven performance.

Digital Electricity™ systems are a proven line-powering technology listed to IEC 62368-1 as a Limited Power Source which allows installation using standard multi-conductor cabling, typically without conduit, while conforming to the NEC and CEC Code standards for building installation.

Digital Electricity™ qualifies to use Class 2 wiring methods but has significant power capacity to directly energize high-power devices. Digital Electricity™ cabling can run alongside or together with fiber in both vertical and horizontal spaces to deliver power to remote devices.

The Digital Electricity™ technology allows unparalleled construction, performance, and safety advantages over any alternative power method.
