The ZPM
Intelligent backup power built for zero interruption.
Legacy Backup Power Wasn’t Built for Today’s Demands
Designed for telecom, public safety, broadband, and industrial networks, the ZPM™ replaces aging UPS systems with a smarter, more resilient, and more efficient approach to backup power. It delivers continuous uptime, unified power management, and clear visibility at every site, whether on the grid or operating in harsh remote environments.
Power Without Pause and With Total Insight
Most traditional UPS systems react only after a failure. The ZPM takes a proactive role by continuously monitoring all power sources, intelligently routing power, and ensuring uninterrupted operation when the grid or a generator drops offline.
Built on our unified power intelligence core, it replaces fragmented controllers and limited alarm panels with a single, integrated platform that provides real time data, alerts, analytics, and full remote access.
Key Advantages
The ZPM ensures true zero interruption even during transitions between sources. Operators get confidence that radios, routers, servers, and backhaul equipment stay online in every condition. Reliability in any environment is the foundation of the Evoltix value proposition.
The ZPM uses a battery centered design that reduces conversion losses, lowers operating costs, and extends equipment life. Because the batteries are always carrying the load, the system stays online even if utility or generator power drops unexpectedly. This also reduces truck rolls and maintenance visits by simplifying power routing and automating charge cycles.
Every ZPM includes the Unified Power Management Core, which unifies power inputs, storage, distribution, alarms, and monitoring. Operators gain a single pane of glass for real time site performance, historical analytics, and service insights across one or many locations. The software suite captures detailed data on battery performance, AC power flow, generator activity, solar inputs, and more.
Designed as a modular upgrade, the ZPM fits easily into existing sites and modernizes traditional UPS installations without major rework. It can also serve as the intelligent core inside Evoltix cabinets or hybrid power shelters for higher power or off grid deployments. This flexibility enables standardization across an operator’s entire footprint.
The ZPM is engineered to support consistent production volumes and standardized SKUs that streamline ordering and deployment. It also enables recurring software licensing, remote management, and upgrade paths that align with long term infrastructure plans.
Ideal use cases

The ZPM Product Line
| Model | Service | Critical Load | Conversion | Availability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Evoltix ZPM 120/240V 4.5 kW | Single phase | up to 4.5 kW | 9 kW | Available now |
| Evoltix ZPM 120/240V 9 kW | Single phase | 4.5 – 9 kW | 13.5 kW | Available now |
| Evoltix ZPM 120/208V 6.75 kW | Three phase | up to 6.75 kW | 13.5 kW | Available now |
| Evoltix ZPM 120/208V 13.5 kW | Three phase | 6.75 – 13.5 kW | 20.25 kW | Available now |
Battery capacity is configured to each site rather than fixed by model. Evoltix sizes storage against the facility's critical load and required runtime as part of a site review.1 Two larger models, a 13.5 kW single-phase and a 20.25 kW three-phase unit, are scheduled to follow in the fourth quarter of 2026.

What the ZPM Controls and Monitors
The ZPM delivers comprehensive oversight and control of all critical elements of a site’s power ecosystem, including:
- Grid and generator inputs
- Battery storage state, health, and performance
- Charge controllers and charge management
- Inverters, converters, and power distribution
- Environmental conditions in enclosed deployments
- Relays and dry contacts for customized alarms
- Full notification hierarchy including warnings, minor, major, and critical alerts
Data is captured and logged continuously, then visualized through dashboards and charts that support serviceability, troubleshooting, operational benchmarking, and compliance reporting.
IntelliCore: The Intelligence Behind Every ZPM
At the center of the ZPM is IntelliCore, the unified power intelligence platform that makes every Evoltix system smarter, more reliable, and easier to operate. IntelliCore brings together all power inputs, battery storage, distribution, alarms, and monitoring into a single control layer that keeps critical infrastructure online without interruption. It transforms site power from a basic utility into a strategic advantage by giving operators real time visibility, automated alerts, historical analytics, and full remote access across all locations.
With IntelliCore embedded inside every ZPM, operators gain:
- A unified view of power flow and system health
- Intelligent decision making that reduces downtime
- Predictive insights that help extend equipment life
- Simplified control across grid, generator, battery, and solar sources
- A scalable foundation that extends across cabinets, shelters, and remote sites
IntelliCore is what elevates the ZPM beyond traditional UPS hardware. It is the intelligence layer that delivers dependable power, lower operating costs, and complete situational awareness in any environment.

We used to worry about downtime every time the grid blinked. Now we don’t even think about it. Since we deployed the ZPM, it’s been flawless. Install was fast, and now I can check system status remotely at any time. For me, there’s no comparison. This is the solution I trust for public safety infrastructure.
We selected Evoltix Vault Shelters because they are a reliable all-in-one solution. Other options weren’t complete or tested, and Evoltix Energy’s smart power management and monitoring give us the peace of mind we need to maintain our remote sites.
During the storm, power was down, but thankfully, the Evoltix integrated Vault Hybrid Power Shelter was able to immediately power the communications equipment for four days and could have kept running for several weeks.
The ZPM in the Evoltix Vault Power Suite
The ZPM is not only a standalone replacement for UPS hardware. It is also the intelligent power management system inside every Vault power cabinet and hybrid power shelter. This means operators benefit from a consistent control platform regardless of site type, environment, or energy mix. Scalability becomes inherent because all products share one unified power intelligence foundation.
