Irving, TX & Neenah, WI — DCPacket and Access are pleased to announce a new strategic partnership focused on advancing safer, more efficient, centralized power distribution solutions for critical power and mission-critical infrastructure applications.

This collaboration unites DCPacket’s innovative digital power distribution technology — leveraging patented digital packetized power delivery — with Access’s deep expertise in designing, deploying, and supporting critical power systems. Together, the companies will deliver solutions that enhance safety, increase efficiency, and simplify power infrastructure for customers in enterprise facilities, transportation networks, campuses, industrial environments, and beyond.

Enhancing the Access Critical Power Ecosystem

A key advantage of this partnership is how seamlessly DCPacket’s technology integrates with and enhances Access’s existing critical solutions portfolio.

DCPacket’s digital power platform complements centralized UPS architectures, distributed edge deployments, power distribution strategies, and monitoring systems already engineered and supported by Access. By enabling safe, fault-managed power transmission over standard cabling, DCPacket expands the design flexibility of traditional systems — allowing Access to deliver more centralized UPS solutions, improve edge power distribution strategies, and simplify pathways to remote or space-constrained environments.

Rather than replacing traditional infrastructure, DCPacket strengthens it — extending reach, increasing safety margins, and creating new architectural possibilities that elevate the performance and value of Access’s broader offerings.

Partnership Goals & Strategic Value

The partnership centers on enabling organizations to modernize their power infrastructure through:

Enhanced Safety: By transmitting power as digitally managed packets over standard cabling, DCPacket’s technology includes built-in fault management and real-time monitoring that dramatically reduces the risk of shock, arc faults, and unsafe conditions — a key differentiator from traditional high-voltage power distribution approaches.

Operational Efficiency: Centralized and digitally controlled power distribution reduces complexity in installation, accelerates deployments, and promotes more predictable maintenance outcomes — supporting both uptime and long-term operational cost savings.

Scalability for Critical Infrastructure: The combination of digital distribution with Access’s engineering, implementation, and service capabilities creates a complete offering that supports dynamic power needs across a wide range of mission-critical environments without being tied to one specific vertical.

Why This Matters

“As mission-critical infrastructure becomes more complex, customers require solutions that are not just strong on performance, but inherently safe, future-ready, and centrally manageable,” said Scotty Lynn from DCPacket. “Our partnership with Access brings together best-in-class digital power delivery and expert infrastructure implementation — enabling organizations to modernize safely and efficiently.”

Access leadership echoed this enthusiasm, noting that the partnership expands its portfolio with next-generation power distribution systems that align with how facilities, campuses, and infrastructure owners are thinking about resiliency, flexibility, and operational intelligence today.

“DCPacket allows us to rethink how we architect centralized and distributed power systems,” said Seth Heeter at Access. “It enhances the solutions we already deliver and creates new opportunities to improve safety, flexibility, and long-term performance for our customers.”
