Tycon Systems Turns 19: Celebrating Innovation in Industrial Energy
Tycon Systems Turns 19: Celebrating Innovation in Industrial Energy
Since 2008, Tycon Systems® has focused on a practical engineering problem: how to keep cameras, radios, networking equipment, sensors, monitoring hardware, and other field electronics powered when conventional infrastructure is unavailable or unreliable.
Nearly two decades later, that same problem continues to shape the company. What began as a focus on remote connectivity and power has grown into a broad family of off-grid solar systems, outdoor battery backup, PoE and DC power products, mobile solar platforms, monitoring equipment, batteries, enclosures, and related infrastructure solutions.
Built Around Remote Equipment From the Beginning
Remote installations rarely fail because of one isolated specification. The equipment load, available sunlight, operating voltage, battery reserve, weather, mounting location, communications requirements, and ability to service the site all affect whether a system works once it leaves the bench.
That has led Tycon Systems® toward a system-oriented approach: start with what needs to operate, understand the site, and then select the power architecture around those requirements.
Today, Tycon® products support installers, integrators, WISPs, security professionals, municipalities, utilities, industrial operators, and enterprise customers responsible for equipment operating outside conventional facilities.
Start With the Site, Then Build Toward the System
A remote camera, wireless bridge, sensor station, industrial controller, or temporary surveillance platform may all need power, but they do not need the same solution. The site and equipment should determine the architecture before a specific product or part number is selected.
RemotePro®: Off-Grid Power Where Utility Service Is Not Practical
RemotePro® grew around one of the most common field-power challenges: equipment that needs to operate where dependable utility power simply is not available.
Current RemotePro® systems combine solar generation, battery storage, charge control, outdoor enclosure protection, mounting, and related power hardware for applications such as security cameras, wireless networking, sensors, telemetry, communications equipment, and industrial field electronics.

UPSPro®: Outdoor Backup Power for Existing Infrastructure
Not every remote site needs solar as its primary energy source. Many cameras, radios, access points, controllers, and communications devices already have AC, DC, or PoE power but need to remain operational when that source is interrupted.
UPSPro® addresses that different problem with outdoor battery backup systems designed around field equipment and harsh installation environments.

Tycon Power®: Delivering the Right Power to Network Equipment
As network equipment moved farther into the field, power delivery became another important part of remote-system design.
Tycon Power® products include PoE injectors, PoE switches, DC power supplies, voltage converters, surge protection, and related equipment used to connect cameras, radios, access points, routers, network devices, and other electronics to the available power source.
These components are especially useful when the battery voltage, equipment voltage, and required network-power standard do not naturally match.
From Individual Components to Complete Systems
One of the important changes over the years has been the move from solving individual power problems toward integrating complete field systems.
A modern remote deployment may combine mechanical design, solar generation, batteries, DC conversion, PoE, communications, monitoring, enclosures, wiring, and mounting. Designing those elements together can make installation and long-term service considerably more practical.
MobileSolarPro®: Taking Remote Power Off the Pole
Some applications need more than a stationary off-grid power system. Construction sites, security operations, communications projects, utilities, events, and emergency deployments may need substantial power that can move as the project changes.
MobileSolarPro® extends the same remote-power approach to trailers and skid-mounted platforms that can combine solar generation, battery storage, mast systems, PoE, monitoring, communications, lighting, and customer-supplied electronics.

Monitoring Became Part of Remote Power Too
As remote sites became more sophisticated, knowing what was happening at the power system became increasingly valuable.
TPDIN® monitoring and control equipment provides options for measuring voltage, current, temperature, equipment state, and other operating information while also supporting relay-control functions.
Monitoring does not replace good system design, but it can help operators understand changing conditions and troubleshoot remote equipment before or during a field visit.

The Applications Have Expanded, but the Problem Is Familiar
The technology used in remote installations has changed considerably, but many of the underlying customer problems remain familiar.
Tycon® systems today can support applications including:
- Remote security and surveillance
- Wireless networks and WISP infrastructure
- Industrial IoT and telemetry
- Environmental monitoring
- Agricultural sensors and communications
- Utilities and municipal infrastructure
- Transportation monitoring
- Remote research
- Temporary and mobile field operations
The Equipment Still Has to Work After Everyone Leaves
Whether the installation is a camera on a pole, a wireless bridge, an industrial sensor, an outdoor UPS, or a mobile solar trailer, the goal is the same: build a practical system that can continue supporting the equipment once it is deployed in the field.
Tycon Systems® Today
Tycon Systems® remains based in Utah and continues to develop products around remote power and connectivity applications.
Current company figures include:
- 350+ unique products
- 7,500+ communities served
- 4.5 million+ watts of solar deployed
Those numbers reflect a much broader range of deployments than a single product family. Remote solar, backup power, network power, wireless connectivity, monitoring, and mobile systems increasingly overlap within the same projects.
Designed Around the Details That Matter in the Field
Remote power products are easy to describe in terms of watts, volts, amp-hours, ports, and enclosure sizes. In practice, installation details often determine whether the project succeeds.
That means considering:
- The actual equipment load
- Operating voltage and interfaces
- Required runtime or battery autonomy
- Solar availability
- Temperature and weather
- Mounting location
- Service access
- How the customer will install and maintain the system
Start With What Needs Power
Product families and technologies continue to evolve, but the most useful first question remains simple: What equipment needs to operate, where will it be installed, and how long does it need to run?
