Communications Trailers for Off-Grid Radio Power
Power-first radio support where no power exists.

KNS Communication Consultants designs and manufactures communications trailers that supply off-grid power for radio deployments in remote environments. Each trailer is engineered around a solar array and battery bank and configured to support reliable radio operation where fixed power infrastructure is unavailable.

Capability Highlights:

  • Three models available: CT3, CT6, and CT9, sized by radio load
  • Power capacity configured to match runtime and operational requirements
  • Optional fuel cell configuration for extended runtime or site-specific constraints
  • Designed for mining environments and adaptable to select industrial operations

Communications Trailer Models

CT3

CT3 is designed for smaller radio loads and shorter deployment durations. 

  • Supports lighter radio loads
  • Compact footprint for easier transport
  • Configured for shorter runtime needs

CT6 (Most Common)

CT6 is made to support typical radio loads found at remote industrial sites.

  • Sized for standard radio deployments
  • Balanced solar and battery capacity
  • Common choice for ongoing field operations

CT9

CT9 is designed for larger radio loads or longer runtime.

  • Supports higher power radio systems
  • Increased energy storage and generation capacity
  • Suited for high-demand deployments

Communications Trailer Models

Each communications trailer is commissioned based on radio load and site requirements. Power configurations are verified and documented before deployment.


Sized to Radio Load & Runtime Needs

Power systems are configured based on the supported radio loads and the required operational duration.


Solar Array & Battery Bank Baseline

All trailers use solar generation and battery storage as the primary power source for off-grid operation.


Expandable Configurations

Solar and battery capacity can be adjusted to support higher loads or longer runtime requirements, depending on the model.


Fuel Cell Configuration

Fuel cell options are available for extended runtime, limited solar conditions, or site-specific operational constraints.

Applications

Communications trailers are deployed anywhere reliable power is required to support radio systems without access to utility power.

Typical applications include:

  • Remote radio sites
  • Temporary installations and expansion zones
  • Backup or supplemental power for existing radio infrastructure
  • Locations requiring rapid deployment and mobility

Markets Served

KNS communications trailers are primarily deployed in mining environments, where mobility, durability, and off-grid power are critical to operations. Designs reflect the demands of harsh conditions and continuous radio operation.

Select secondary markets include:

  • Utilities and energy operations
  • Industrial yards, ports, and terminals
  • Infrastructure and construction projects

Deployments outside mining are evaluated based on radio load, runtime needs, and site conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a communications trailer used for?

A communications trailer provides off-grid power for radio systems at locations without utility power. It supports reliable radio operation in remote, temporary, or power-constrained environments.

2. Are these trailers mobile command centers?

No. KNS communications trailers are power-first systems designed to supply electrical power to radios, not to function as command or control centers.

3. What type of power system does a communications trailer use?

All trailers use a solar array and battery bank as the primary power source. Optional fuel cell configurations are available to extend runtime or operate under limited solar conditions.

4. How do I know which communications trailer model I need?

Model selection is based on radio load requirements and required runtime. CT3 supports smaller loads, CT6 is the most common configuration, and CT9 is used for larger or longer-duration deployments.

5. Can a communications trailer be configured for different radio loads?

Yes. Power configurations are sized and commissioned based on the supported radio equipment and operational requirements.

6. Are these trailers designed only for mining?

Mining is the primary market, but the trailers are also used in select industrial applications that require off-grid radio power.

7. Do communications trailer solutions require on-site commissioning?

Yes. Each trailer is commissioned based on radio load and site requirements, with configurations verified and documented before deployment.
