This collaboration will significantly accelerate development of Aradatum’s self-powered telecom infrastructure. Twisthink is leading the development of full-system controls, communication, power management, and protection functions, allowing Aradatum to operate a tower as resilient as it is innovative. Some of these sub-systems include controlling the vertical rotor wind turbine; making real-time decisions of power generation, energy storage and backup systems; weather sensing and integration with cloud-provided weather data; security and surveillance, remote tower lowering and blade braking for maintenance; and 30-year system health monitoring.
Aradatum’s President Larry Leete has previously worked with Twisthink to take an innovative wireless power technology from ideation to prototype. “We are excited to expand our business relationship with Twisthink. Today’s partnership unites Twisthink’s human-centered design methods with Aradatum’s ‘3 keys to enhance the 21st Century human experience’, which are communication, connectivity, and mobility,” said Larry Leete, President of Aradatum. “Twisthink are not just world-class engineers, they are innovative idea people that will be a valuable resource as we take Aradatum’s technology from a ‘cell-tower’ to a 21st Century Infratech ‘backbone’ in the coming years.”
The tower control system development will be conducted at Twisthink facilities in Holland, Michigan.
“We are proud to partner with Aradatum to apply our experience in connectivity, hardware design, and software development to the cleantech and telecommunications sectors,” said Kurt Dykema, Chief Technology Officer of Twisthink. “Part of our culture is to make sure every project we design deserves to be built. Aradatum’s infrastructure is an absolute necessity to the growing power demands new technology like 5G and electric vehicles require. I’m looking forward to pushing the industry forward as we look towards the connectivity applications of tomorrow.”
