Traditionally telco facilities do not provide no-break AC power. If you want reliable power in a carrier style facility you need to use DC power, and dual-feed DC powered equipment. I do not think this is a change from the existing MAE facilities. I don't think MFS provides no-break AC power in either the existing gallows road or south market MAE's.

But they provide up to 4 hrs of DC power in the same paragraph. They are specifically segregating against AC power which I find interesting.

"In addition, backup generators will provide power in case of an AC power failure, however, AC backup is not guaranteed and will not be uninterrupted."

I am hoping this is someone's clerical error.
