ARoot Subsidiary Geonix Completes Development of Next-Generation UPS Prototype for AI Data Centers

Geonix, a subsidiary of ARoot, has completed development of a prototype next-generation uninterruptible power supply (UPS) designed to improve energy efficiency and reduce cooling costs at artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. In addition to large-capacity models, the company has also developed compact UPS units and plans to target the public procurement market.

On May 20, ARoot announced that Geonix, its UPS-specialized subsidiary, had finished developing a prototype based on next-generation UPS technology.

This product features a high-efficiency UPS technology utilizing object-oriented digital signal processing (DSP), which was patented last year. Unlike conventional silicon (Si)-based UPS units, it is designed without the need for input/output transformers by employing SiC (silicon carbide) MOSFET power semiconductors.

The company explained that this allows for a significant increase in energy efficiency. Geonix is currently conducting prototype testing and aims to complete trials within this year, with plans to launch the product next year. The UPS can be scaled from 30 kilowatts (kW) up to 120 kW.

In particular, the UPS achieves efficiency levels of over 96% while reducing heat generation by approximately 30%, which is expected to significantly cut air conditioning and cooling costs—a major component of data center operating expenses.

Geonix is pursuing both large-capacity and compact UPS product development in parallel. With demand for low-power UPS units increasing, especially in the public sector, the company stated that development of highly reliable and safe compact UPS models based on its patented technology is progressing smoothly.

The company’s strategy is to launch both large-capacity and 5 kW-class compact UPS models simultaneously, targeting both data centers and the public procurement market.

A Geonix representative stated, "The next-generation UPS features a distributed control structure that increases operational and maintenance efficiency, and with minimized power loss and modularization, it can support up to 120 kW. We plan to accelerate commercialization to actively target the rapidly expanding AI data center market."

The representative added, "By developing compact UPS models alongside large-capacity units, we will diversify our product portfolio and pursue expansion in the domestic procurement market. Our goal is to grow beyond hardware manufacturing to become a smart power solutions company that delivers software-based precision control technologies."

The development of Geonix’s next-generation UPS is seen as a strategic move targeting both the rising demand for energy efficiency driven by the expansion of AI data centers and the growth of the public procurement market.
