Flexenclosure today said it would supply its eCentre data center solution to Telenor Satellite Broadcasting in Norway.

The eCentre will serve as a communications centre for TSBc’s new satellite called THOR 7 satellite that is expected to launch later this year.

Flexenclosure’s factory in Vara, Sweden will manufacture the data center. The new data center will be deployed at Honefoss, 50 km from Oslo, where the primary control center will be located, Norway. It will serve as a backup communications facility for the new THOR satellite.

The eCentre will be operational within four months and will be built to last the lifetime of the THOR 7 satellite. It will consist of one 42m2 IT and equipment building as well as a separate 10m2 energy center, including a power generator and connection to the grid.

The facility will include free air cooling technology, providing TSBc with a highly energy efficient communications centre. Compared with traditional cooling solutions, free air can reduce cooling equipment electricity consumption by more than 60 per cent.
