UPS for Wi-Fi Access Points & PoE Networks

Reliable Backup Power for Wireless Access Points, PoE Switches & Edge Connectivity

Wireless access points (APs) are the foundation of modern connectivity. From offices, schools, hotels, and hospitals to retail locations and smart buildings, Wi-Fi access points keep users, devices, and systems connected. In most modern deployments, these access points are powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet) switches—making Wi-Fi uptime completely dependent on PoE infrastructure.

When power is lost, Wi-Fi access points, PoE switches, routers, and controllers shut down immediately, disconnecting users and disabling cloud access, voice services, security systems, and IoT devices.

Xtreme Power Conversion offers a purpose-built portfolio of UPS systems designed specifically for Wi-Fi access points and PoE networks, from compact edge protection to 1U online UPS platforms for IDFs and enterprise deployments. Our J60, J60C, V70, J90 (120V), and J90i (208/230V) UPS solutions keep wireless networks online when power fails.
