Following recent announcements of new growth and expansion within the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community, Saddleback Communications is investing more than $2 million to upgrade and modernize its power and environmental infrastructure – including power, battery and generator systems, as well as new cooling and AC – to support the Community’s existing and new development.

Saddleback’s updates will balance the power load and eliminate any single points of failure while broadening the scope of monitoring and alerting software, according to a press release. The communications company has provided highly reliable fiber-based internet, voice and cloud communications service to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community for the past 25 years.

“The investment underscores our commitment to the businesses and residents within the Community,” Saddleback Communications President and General Manager Bill Bryant said in the release. “All updates ensure that Saddleback, the only communications company on the SRPMIC, will continue to provide exceptional reliability and next-generation services to all of its customers.”

Highlights of the improvements include:

• All new batteries doubling battery run time. Designed in a new configuration of separately breakered “A” and “B” banks, continuously monitored and eliminating any single point of failure.

• Installation of next-generation Computer Room Air Conditioning technology in all critical rooms assuring optimum efficiency, performance and visibility.
• All new condenser & AC systems with additional redundancy, capacity and increased monitoring.
• Generator upgrades and increased maintenance and testing.
• Fire Suppression updates and enhancements to assure performance and safety.

These upgrades and improvements build upon Saddlebacks 25-year history of communications infrastructure to the serve the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community for the next 25 years of rapid growth.
