VoltServer's third-generation Digital Electricity System: Tetra
Tetra by VoltServer: Revolutionizing Power Distribution with Intelligence, Safety and Efficiency
Power distribution is getting an upgrade in 2025.
Imagine powering entire buildings with lightweight, easy-to-install cables—delivering electricity over distances once deemed impossible—all while ensuring safety and reliability.
Welcome to Tetra, the third generation of Digital Electricity™, VoltServer’s fault-managed power system. With a staggering 250% increase in power capacity over its predecessors, Tetra will revolutionize how we think about energy distribution.
This is more than an incremental upgrade; it’s a leap into the future.
The Future of Fault Managed Power
VoltServer pioneered fault-managed power, making high-voltage electricity that doesn’t harm people or spark fires easily accessible. Not only that, it uses the same existing pathways as data cables, streamlining installation and reducing costs.
With Tetra, VoltServer raises the bar by a mile (literally), offering:
- 250% more power: Compared to earlier versions, Tetra delivers significantly higher capacity, supporting demanding applications like AI, EV charging and industrial automation with more power than any other UL-listed system.
- Deliver power up to 6,000 feet: Yes, over a mile, enabling deployment across vast campuses or remote areas.
- Intelligence at every connection: Real-time telemetry and inline communication between transmitters and receivers allow for monitoring and control of power usage, quality and fault detection.
Why You Should Be Paying Attention to Tetra in 2025
Traditional AC power hasn’t evolved at the pace of modern technology.
Buildings still rely on infrastructure designed a century ago—bulky, inefficient and incompatible with today’s connected devices.
Tetra addresses the gap with its single streamlined system.
Something transformative for these areas, to name a few:
- Smart buildings: Deliver energy to IoT devices, lighting and security systems while monitoring usage and faults in real-time.
- Healthcare and aviation: Ensure uninterrupted power for mission-critical systems, from hospital networks to airport communications.
- Manufacturing and industrial facilities: Provide power and data to machines and sensors in vast manufacturing facilities.
Practical Advantages
Tetra is designed with simplicity and efficiency in mind:
- Plug-and-Play Installation: Modular design and pre-terminated cables reduce labor by up to 50%, addressing the skilled labor shortage.
- Sustainability Built In: By eliminating the need for additional conduits and enabling DC-powered systems, Tetra supports decarbonization goals and reduces material waste.
- More Safety: Tetra’s UL 1400-1 certification ensures compliance with the 2023 National Electrical Code (NEC), making it easier to adopt in new and retrofitted facilities.
Driving the Future of Energy
The need for smarter energy systems has never been greater.
Rising power demands, electrification initiatives and labor shortages are driving the shift to fault-managed power.
Tetra is perfectly positioned to meet this moment. It offers a scalable solution for electrifying buildings, campuses and even cities while maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency.

As Ken Hydzik, EVP Global Sales at VoltServer, put it:
“My joke when people ask “Who is your competition?”, my answer is apathy and a plug in the wall.
What I mean by that is if you don’t care about the device that's being powered, like if you’re plugging in a fan or what have you, if it's not critical to you and there's a plug sitting there you're probably going to plug it in.
Where VoltServer fits and where we provide the most value for our customers is by providing that power layer in a cost-effective efficient manner for critical power. It could be heat pumps, IT switches, cellular dash radios, etc.”
DigitalElecricty is already being deployed in critical environments like airports, stadiums and hospitals, powering systems we rely on daily.
Tetra, which launched in October 2024 is unlocking new possibilities for smart energy distribution.
