Efficient cooling for network stability in telecommunications
Cooling requirements for 5G and fibre optics
Electronic components in telecommunications fulfil key processes such as the transmission, processing and storage of data. They are at the heart of the network infrastructure in fibre optic and 5G mobile networks, enabling information to be exchanged globally and in real time. The specific components used in telecommunications that require cooling include transceivers, modulators, demodulators and amplifiers. The high power density of these components is associated with heat generation which, without efficient cooling, leads to a loss of performance or system failure.
Typical components for which EKL provides customised heat sinks are high-performance processors, power amplifiers and laser diodes used in transmission equipment. As parts of transmission equipment - for example in 5G mobile phone masts - are exposed to direct environmental influences such as humidity, heat, cold and dust, particularly robust and low-maintenance heat sinks are required.

Innovative EKL heat sinks for the telecommunications industry
EKL cooling technologies for telecommunications applications include passive heat sinks, active fan systems and advanced technologies such as heat pipes, vapour chambers or liquid cooling. Dual cooling systems, which utilise a combination of passive and active cooling, ensure an ideal operating temperature even in the case of strongly fluctuating ambient temperatures. With our 30 years of experience, we will find a customised and cost-optimised cooling solution for you to ensure the performance and reliability of your telecommunications devices in a wide variety of network environments.

Typical heat sources in telecommunication devices
In electronics, the heat generated by current-carrying components is an unavoidable and usually annoying side effect. As a product manager and development engineer of electronic systems, free yourself from the risk of overheating and expensive development loops by placing the thermal management of your device in the hands of EKL! We see ourselves as a partner in your development, pursuing the same goals as you: to manufacture a reliable, high-quality and durable product at competitive prices.
High-performance CPU cooling for the cloud and 5G telecommunications
In 5G networks, high-performance processors are responsible for managing radio connections, authenticating users, routing calls and the internet connection. In the cloud, high-performance CPUs enable the virtualisation of network functions, resulting in a more efficient and flexible network architecture. To enable network operators to fully utilise the benefits of 5G at all times, the continuous performance of the processors is ensured by efficient EKL heat sinks.
Cooling power amplifiers in 5G environments
In the mobile world and clouds, power amplifiers are responsible for boosting the signal to ensure broad coverage over long distances. In the cloud, they support efficient data transmission between distributed network nodes and help optimise network performance by improving signal quality and increasing energy efficiency. Achieving wide network coverage with the help of power amplifiers is the basis for Industry 4.0, autonomous driving and other advanced applications. EKL supplies the powerful and tested cooling solutions to keep the sensitive electronic components at the ideal operating temperature and to prevent failures due to overheating.
Laser diode cooling in fibre optic networks
Semiconductor lasers are responsible for the transmission of data via fibre optic cables and enable high bandwidths and low latency times. In the cloud, laser diodes support high-speed data transmission between servers and contribute significantly to the efficiency and performance of cloud services. Thanks to their energy efficiency and high conversion efficiency of electrical energy into light, they are a key component of modern network technology. EKL heat sinks for laser diodes are developed and produced precisely for your specific application, the available installation space and the required cost-effectiveness.

High-performance heat sinks for telecommunications electronics
EKL - Everything from a single source
The temperature of electronic components must remain within the tolerated range, as excessive heating can shorten their service life and impair their performance. EKL provides you with expert support in solving these heat problems efficiently and economically using passive heat sinks, fans, heat pipes, liquid heat sinks or other thermal management technologies.
EKL is therefore your perfect solution partner for cost-optimised temperature regulation of all components in your electronic device. We are at your side in every project phase, from the initial idea, design and prototype construction through to series production - and beyond!

In personal contact and open dialogue with you, our engineers create the creative space and framework to design the best cooling solution for your requirements from the wealth of options available.
Development
Feasibility / simulation
Feasibility / simulation
We test the idea for your heat sink virtually in the thermal simulation. Realistic computer simulations allow variations in manufacturing processes, system structures and other parameters.
Performance optimisation
Even a well-functioning heat sink can still be optimised. We determine the "how" and "how much" by simulating different materials or cooling technologies, for example, as well as simulating various environmental parameters.
Cost optimisation
An expensive heat sink can often be made significantly cheaper by using an alternative manufacturing process. Whether with the same or application-specific performance: we support your product development in reducing costs.
