Phinergy prevented the collapse of cellular networks on October 7
TEL AVIV, Israel, Nov. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The murderous terror attack on the south of Israel on October 7 led to major disruptions in cellular communications in the Gaza border region, as the electricity grid collapsed in many places where fighting had broken out. With backup systems designed to provide only a few hours of service, most cellular communications sites in the area suffered a temporary electricity outage, leaving mobile phone users in the region unable to communicate in the critical hours at the start of the war.
- Founder Aviv Tzidon: "Our system enabled subscribers of our cellular provider client to maintain continuous communications, under the most difficult circumstances."
- However, the cellular sites at which Phinergy (TASE: PNRG) systems were installed were able to continue providing essential connectivity for tens of hours.
- "In practice, our system stores a lot of energy at the (cellular) site itself, due to the aluminum components," says Tzidon.
