FMP Alliance Forms to Advance Innovative Fault Managed Power Technology

EAST GREENWICH, R.I., April 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- VoltServer, the first company to invent, patent and commercialize the distribution of electricity in a natively digital, fault managed format, Digital Electricity™, is excited to announce a collaboration with industry leaders: Belden, Cisco Systems, Panduit®, and Prysmian Group. Together, we have formed the FMP Alliance, an open industry association dedicated to advocating, promoting, and advancing fault managed power technologies. The FMP Alliance aims to champion and foster widespread adoption of fault managed power technology across various industries.

Fault managed power is an advanced technology designed to elevate the safety, dependability, and efficiency of power systems. By actively identifying and addressing faults within power networks, FMP ensures a more robust and consistent power supply, leading to heightened safety and enhanced operational performance, while also enabling faster deployment and reduced material. Additionally, compared to certain traditional power distribution methods, fault managed power can achieve higher efficiency. We expect this technology to help lower costs and reduce emissions for a wide range of industries from building construction to information technology.

The founding members of the FMP Alliance bring together extensive expertise and experience in the realm of power technology. Each company, namely Belden, Cisco Systems, Panduit, Prysmian Group, and VoltServer, stands as a recognized leader in its respective field. Through the collective efforts of these industry leaders within the FMP Alliance, the adoption of fault managed power solutions is accelerated.

Primary goals of the FMP Alliance include:

• Industry Leadership: Functioning as a cohesive voice, the FMP Alliance actively promotes the adoption of fault managed power across various industries, emphasizing its merits and applications.
• Standards Advocacy: The FMP Alliance actively contributes to shaping industry standards and regulations for fault managed power.
• Education and Awareness: The FMP Alliance plays a pivotal role in educating stakeholders on the benefits of fault managed power technology and fostering awareness about its transformative potential in power systems.

"The formation of the FMP Alliance is an important step in advancing safer, more sustainable powering technology globally.
