Who We Are
A Specialist DC Power Manufacturer, Not a Catalogue Reseller
Innovative Circuit Technology (ICT) has focused on one discipline since 1986: converting, backing up, distributing and monitoring low-voltage DC power at unattended sites. That narrow focus is why radio system integrators, wireless ISPs, utilities and public-safety agencies specify ICT when a site outage is measured in lost service, not lost convenience.
- Product platforms for 12, 24 and 48 VDC buses, from 100 W DIN-rail supplies to multi-kilowatt redundant rectifier shelves.
- Battery-aware charging, temperature compensation and low-voltage disconnect to protect standby autonomy.
- Intelligent models expose live telemetry and remote switching over Ethernet, with firmware you can update from our resource library.
- Application engineers review single-line diagrams, load budgets and rack layouts before you order.

Power Architectures Proven in the Field
Every deployment has different autonomy, footprint and monitoring needs. These are the three environments our engineering roadmap is built around.
Broadband
Fixed Wireless & Fiber
Redundant DC feeds, monitored circuits and remote reboot for towers, fiber huts and central offices where subscriber uptime is the product.
Broadband power Public Safety
Land Mobile Radio
P25 and DMR repeater sites need clean 12/24/48 V power, long standby autonomy and alarm reporting that reaches the dispatch centre first.
LMR power Industrial
Industrial DC Power
SCADA, pipeline, rail and utility cabinets where DIN-rail supplies, converters and PDUs must survive wide temperatures and dirty AC.

Remote Power Management
Ethernet DC Power Monitoring and Control
ICT Intelligent DC products carry an embedded web server, so any browser becomes the site power console. Combined with SNMP traps, the same hardware feeds your existing NOC platform instead of forcing a parallel monitoring stack.
- See: bus voltage, per-circuit current, module status, temperature and battery state in real time.
- Act: switch individual distribution circuits, reboot a locked-up radio or router, and stage load-shed priorities.
- Know: configurable alarm thresholds with email and SNMP notification before a threshold becomes an outage.
- Maintain: field-upgradable firmware and utilities published in the ICT resource library.

Which ICT Platform Fits Your Site?
A practical starting point used by our application engineers. Confirm final ratings on the individual product pages or with a power specialist before ordering.
| Platform | Nominal Bus | Best Fit | Key Differentiator |
|---|---|---|---|
| DC Power Systems | 12 / 24 / 48 VDC | Multi-radio or multi-tenant sites needing redundancy plus distribution in one rack assembly | Hot-swap modules, integrated monitored distribution, battery management |
| DC Power Modules | 12 / 24 / 48 VDC | Capacity growth on an installed shelf | Load sharing for N+1; replace a module with the bus live |
| DC Power Supplies | 12 / 24 / 48 VDC | Single-cabinet repeater, node or instrumentation loads | Adjustable output and charger function in a compact chassis |
| DC Power Distribution | 12 / 24 / 48 VDC | Breaking one source into protected, individually monitored branches | Single bus for simplicity, dual bus for A/B feed separation |
| DIN-Rail Solutions | 12 / 24 / 48 VDC | Small cells, fiber enclosures, control and automation panels | Rail-mount footprint with DIN PDU and charger options |
| Pure Sine Wave Inverters | DC input / AC output | AC-only tools and instruments at a DC-powered site | Low-distortion sine output for sensitive electronics |
| DC-DC Converters | Step up / step down | Mixed-voltage equipment on a single battery bus | Isolated and non-isolated variants for grounding flexibility |

DC Power Questions We Answer Every Week
Straight answers from the ICT application engineering team for specifiers, procurement teams and distributors.
ICT builds around the three nominal bus voltages used at communication and industrial sites: 12 VDC, 24 VDC and 48 VDC. Output voltage on most rectifier and power module families is adjustable, so the bus can be matched to the battery chemistry, float requirement and cable-drop budget of your site.
Intelligent DC models include an embedded web server reached with any standard browser, plus SNMP for integration with an existing network management platform. You can read output voltage, load current, temperature and alarm status, switch individual distribution circuits on or off, and receive fault notifications — without dispatching a technician.
Yes. Modular shelves accept multiple hot-swappable rectifier modules that share load current. Adding one module beyond the calculated load gives N+1 redundancy, and a failed module can be exchanged while the system stays energised — so scheduled maintenance does not become a service interruption.
A single bus panel feeds all protected branches from one DC input, keeping wiring simple where there is one source or battery string. A dual bus panel provides two electrically separate buses in one chassis, so A and B feeds — or two independent voltage rails — can be distributed and monitored separately for higher availability.
Engineering, manufacturing and technical support are performed at our North American headquarters in Langley, British Columbia, Canada. Domestic design and production shorten lead times, keep hardware and firmware revisions traceable, and give customers direct access to the engineers who built the product.
