What VoltServer does
VoltServer develops and commercializes patented Digital Electricity (DE) fault-managed power (FMP) technology, the first Class 4 power distribution system codified in the 2023 National Electric Code. Its core architecture uses transmitters that convert analog AC or DC into packetized energy and receivers that convert packets back to usable power at the load, enabling safe transmission of thousands of watts over standard low-voltage communication cabling with millisecond fault shut-off. The third-generation Tetra platform delivers 250% more power per channel than any other commercially available UL certified system and supports distribution over distances exceeding a mile. The product portfolio spans Digital Electricity Transmitters, Digital Electricity Receivers, and the Tetra platform, with co-engineered cabling integrations through partners such as Belden.
VoltServer monetizes through direct hardware sales and a Solution Partner Program that licenses, embeds, private-labels, or resells its technology to channel and OEM partners including Cisco, CommScope, Belden, Southwire, Clearfield, Sinclair Digital, and DCPacket. Go-to-market combines enterprise field sales, manufacturer representatives (BIT Sales Group), and wire-and-cable distribution, targeting service provider networks (5G small cells, DAS, mmWave, Wi-Fi), data centers, smart buildings and campuses, industrial and manufacturing environments, building electrification, and transportation networks. The company reports 1,000+ installations across North America and the UK, with named customers including Hard Rock Stadium, LIRR Jamaica Station, Richwood Academic Complex, The Vintage Club, and Hardee Fresh.
Founded in 2011 and headquartered in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, VoltServer has raised approximately $39M+ in venture funding across multiple rounds since 2012, including a $17.5M Series B in April 2023 led by Marker Hill Capital and Constellation Technology Ventures. The company operates with 11–50 employees and appointed Dave Johnson as CEO in February 2026, succeeding founder Steve Eaves. The November 2025 rebranding emphasized the broader adoption of Digital Electricity technology across verticals.

VoltServer product offering
Product offeringCore offering
VoltServer develops and sells patented Digital Electricity (DE) fault-managed power (FMP) hardware — transmitters and receivers that convert analog electricity into intelligently controlled energy packets for transmission over standard low-voltage communication cabling, and reconvert them to usable AC/DC at the load. The technology enables safe, long-distance, high-wattage DC power distribution with real-time fault detection and millisecond shut-off, and is integrated into the 2023 National Electric Code as Class 4 FMP.
Product overview
VoltServer offers Digital Electricity®, a fault-managed power (FMP) technology that revolutionizes power distribution by converting electricity into digitally controlled energy packets. The product portfolio includes Digital Electricity® Transmitters (which convert analog power into packetized energy at the source) and Digital Electricity® Receivers (which convert packets back to usable power at the load). The flagship Tetra platform represents VoltServer's third-generation FMP offering with significantly enhanced power capacity. This technology enables safe, scalable power delivery over long distances using standard communication cabling, with built-in real-time monitoring, fault detection, and automatic shut-off capabilities.

VoltServer competitors and assessment
Company assessmentBroad incumbents
- Legrand: Legrand manufactures wiring devices, power distribution, and data center connectivity, including PoE-enabled systems. It addresses the same end-customer need (safe, distributed power plus data) as VoltServer and has the channel scale to challenge in the building and data center segments.
- Eaton: Eaton manufactures power distribution, switchgear, and power quality equipment used across utility, data center, and industrial markets. Its scale, UL labs, and electrical contractor channel make it a natural potential entrant into Class 4 FMP.
- ABB: ABB produces power distribution, substation, and power electronics equipment for utilities, industry, and infrastructure. ABB's substation and digital substation portfolio is closely analogous to the FMP architecture VoltServer is commercializing.
- Schneider Electric: Schneider Electric is a global leader in power distribution, data center power (UPS, PDU, switchgear), and building management. Its broad portfolio overlaps with VoltServer's data center and building electrification applications, and it has the scale to enter Class 4 FMP if it chooses to.
- Vertiv: Vertiv specializes in data center power, cooling, and IT management, with HVDC and AC distribution offerings. It is a direct overlap with VoltServer's data center and AI rack power value proposition, and a logical incumbent competitor or acquirer.
- Siemens: Siemens Smart Infrastructure offers power distribution, building electrification, and data center solutions. Its portfolio and global reach position it as a broad incumbent with overlapping value propositions in VoltServer's target verticals.
Direct peers
- CommScope: CommScope provides network infrastructure, fiber, and connectivity for service providers, data centers, and buildings. As an FMP Alliance member and a former employer of VoltServer's VP of Business Development, it operates in overlapping customer and product territory.
- Cisco: Cisco's Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches, Industrial Ethernet, and Digital Building solutions address the same problem space of safely delivering power and data to edge devices. Cisco is also a named VoltServer partner (Select Developer), making it both competitor and collaborator.
- Belden: Belden makes industrial, enterprise, and broadcast cabling, and is also a VoltServer Solution Partner supplying DE-optimized cables. Its signal and power cable portfolio directly competes with and complements VoltServer's hardware in the same installations.
- Panduit: Panduit manufactures structured cabling, connectivity, and PoE-enabled power infrastructure for data centers, buildings, and industrial networks. Highly comparable to VoltServer's transmitter/receiver + cabling model for safe power and data over a single pathway.
