CTIA is one of the great get-togethers of the global telecom industry. This year, it takes place May 8–10 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in New Orleans. We’ll be there too, showcasing our range of prime and standby generator sets for the telecom industry.
This year’s event is expected to attract some 40,000 attendees from across the world. At Booth 5268, visitors will be able to take a close-up look at our new C17D5T generator set and learn what it has to offer for mobile operators now and in the coming years.
This generator set is a powerful addition to our family of products, ideal for mobile telecommunications in fast-growing developing markets. The new diesel-engine generator set features an integrated automatic transfer switch, a large fuel tank and long intervals between services, allied to a heavy-duty engine and integral radiator cooling system.
The C17D5T is well suited to the needs of mobile operators reaching new subscribers in remote areas — who are expected to account for the bulk of the “next billion” mobile connections, according to research by leading analyst firm Ovum. Power provision is vital to base station sites servicing the widespread rural locations where these potential new subscribers live. A prime-power source such as the Cummins Power Generation C17D5T will help operators install base stations reliably and efficiently.
The generator set operates at 50 Hz and has single phase and 3-phase ratings of 17 kVA standby, 15 kVA prime. The unit has a rugged four-cycle industrial engine that features low emissions and a fast response to load changes. Cooling is provided by a standard integral radiator system, designed and tested for rated ambient temperatures — making it simpler to design generator sets installations to meet requirements for rejected heat. Control is through our PowerCommand® 1.1, which provides total generator set system integration, including automatic remote starting and stopping, plus alarms and status message display.
The C17D5T generator set is equipped with an integrated automatic transfer switch and a 1,000-liter fuel tank. It can run for 1,000 hours between servicing, including lube oil and air filter changes. The weather-protected, sound-attenuated enclosure, coupled with robust structural strength and pilferage-protected lockable fuel tank, make the C17D5T a practical and efficient choice for remote areas in developing regions.
The growth in requirement for prime power is a key trend in the telecom industry today, and our C17D5T generator set is an excellent prime power solution. It is ideal for environments in Asia, Africa, Middle East and parts of Eastern Europe and Latin America where telecom operators see their best mobile growth prospects. Mobile base stations in these regions are often far from a dependable grid. The integrated ATS makes for easy installation and reduces installation time significantly. The quality and reliability of the diesel generator sets in these locations are critical.
In addition, Cummins offers the 60-Hz DSFA and DGHC range of generator sets specifically designed for the North American telecom market. These generator sets have high-capacity fuel tanks providing 48-hour autonomy, remote diagnostic capabilities, in-housing battery charger and block heaters. The weather-protected, sound-attenuated enclosures, coupled with robust structural strength, make them an optimum choice for telecom operators in North America who demand reliability in standby applications. The DSFA models use the four-cylinder QSB5 engine platform, with a 4.5-liter displacement. The DGHC models use the B3.3 engine platform with a 3.3-liter displacement.
The C17D5T, DSFA and DGHC series are the latest members of Cummins Power Generation products that meet both the prime and standby requirements of telecommunications operators. The complete range covers 8–3,500 kVA for both 50 Hz and 60 Hz markets. These generator sets are suited to a variety of applications including cell towers, data centers and complex switching environments.
So, as you can see, we’ll have plenty to discuss when you stop by Booth 5268 to say hello. We’re really looking forward to finding out how we can help meet your telecom needs, now and in the future. See you in the Big Easy!

With operations in paint, hydraulics, lubricants and power generation, FT Farfan is a large business in Trinidad and Tobago that serves customers in the energy, petrochemical, industrial, agricultural and woodworking industries. The company recently added another line of business: a distributorship for Cummins Onan with a focus on the marine generator market.
There are significant opportunities in selling and servicing marine generators to commercial fishing vessels, especially in repower, or the replacing of existing onboard generators. Recently, with orders growing at a rapid pace, our goal was to help FT Farfan increase their technical expertise and service capabilities as quickly as possible.
Accordingly, two FR Farfan sales engineers attended extensive Cummins Onan training. With the help of Juan Hernandez, the Cummins Onan Caribbean Territory Manager, and our distribution development team, the sales engineers were able to easily get up to speed on our line of marine generators and installation procedures.
Juan Hernandez said, “We are enhancing our distributor capabilities, which are critical for us to grow our marine business in the Caribbean region. Through training sessions such as this one with FT Farfan, we strive to provide our customers with the right products and quality services.”

This year’s FDIC show, the most important training conference for the firefighting community, was held April 16–21 in Indianapolis. The event was a perfect opportunity for one-on-one discussions with fire department attendees regarding their equipment requirements and how Cummins Onan can help not only by providing rugged, reliable products, but in other ways as well.
As in previous FDIC shows, we were joined by the Cummins Engine business unit, which builds engines specially designed for the firefighting market. And, in addition to having our commercial mobile products and technical experts available in the booth, we also conducted a survey.
The survey’s purpose was to gauge attendees’ level of interest in having extended training opportunities with Cummins Onan-certified specialists. The sessions would cover product overviews of our hydraulic and PTO generators, including basic installation, operation, troubleshooting/diagnostics, maintenance and common repairs. The survey results will help us provide the kind of training that our customers are most interested in receiving.
But, if you weren’t able to make it to Indy this year for the FDIC show, we’d still welcome and value your participation in the survey at www.powertofiretrucks.com/training.
Thanks to everyone who stopped by our FDIC booth. And an extra thanks to all our survey respondents—both at the show and online. We’ll definitely let you know how it turns out!

Universal Engineering Services LLC (UES), Cummins Power Generation’s distributor in Oman, has installed a standby power solution for a submarine cable landing station. The work was part of a project carried out by local companies Qtel and Nawras, Indian company TATA and a number of Gulf Cooperation Council telecommunications companies. The landing point for the cable is in Qalhat, north of Sur.
UES has installed two Cummins Power Generation C700 D5 generator sets to provide 1100 kVA of standby power in the event of a grid outage, anticipated to occur on average one or two times a month. The two generator sets are synchronised to operate in parallel, and are supplied in enclosures since they are sited outdoors.
Oman is the landing point for an increasing number of submarine telecommunications cables. TATA is heavily involved in building a state-of-the-art communications network linking its home country of India with sites around the Middle East.
