VENDOR.Max is an autonomous power node for infrastructure in the 2.4–24 kW range. It operates as a solid-state electrodynamic system — specifically through controlled gas ionization, Townsend avalanche discharge, and resonant circuit principles — constituting a two-contour architecture with an Active Core and a Linear Extraction stage.
The surrounding environment participates as a coupling medium shaping boundary conditions — not as a claimed energy source term. The system operates as an open nonlinear electrodynamic system. It does not violate thermodynamic laws. External input is required to initiate and sustain the controlled discharge regime.
VENDOR.Max is not a perpetual motion device, not a free-energy claim, and not a conventional electrical generator in the combustion or electromagnetic induction sense. It is a pre-commercial engineering system at TRL 5–6 with 1,000+ validated operational hours and an active international patent portfolio.
IP: Spanish patent ES2950176 — granted and active. PCT WO2024/209235 — all national phases complete. National examination applications active in the EU (EP23921569.2), China, India, and the USA.
Current status: TRL 5–6. 1,000+ cumulative operational hours including a 532-hour continuous cycle. DNV/TÜV independent verification is part of the planned validation roadmap. Commercial availability targeted 2028.
VENDOR.Max is an autonomous power node designed as a distributed
resilient power system in the 2.4–24 kW infrastructure range.
It is not a backup system, not a solar inverter, and not a conventional generator. It is intended as an autonomous power architecture option for remote infrastructure nodes where the current alternatives are diesel delivery, unreliable solar, or no power at all.
In its deployment role, VENDOR.Max is designed for infrastructure environments defined by distance from grid, fuel logistics cost, maintenance burden, or weak-grid exposure — environments where an autonomous solid-state power node has structural operational value. At TRL 5–6, it is available for strategic pre-commercial engagement and pilot readiness assessment. Commercial deployment with CE/UL certification is targeted 2028.
The following describes the designed architecture of VENDOR.Max as validated in laboratory and relevant-nvironment conditions. These are not final commercial specifications. Final specifications will be confirmed through TRL 7–8 development and independent certification (targeted 2027–2028).

Parameters above are engineering design targets and laboratory-validated results at TRL 5–6. "Designed" means validated in controlled laboratory conditions, not yet confirmed in field deployment. Final operating conditions, resource tests, and commercial ratings remain subject to TRL 7–8 development and independent certification.
Infrastructure operators in telecom, agriculture, utilities, and off-grid facilities face a consistent structural challenge: reliable power at remote sites currently depends on diesel logistics, battery replacement cycles, or weak-grid availability. All three are expensive, fragile, or both. This is the market environment VENDOR.Max is designed to address.
| 30–60% | Diesel share of OPEX for off-grid telecom tower operators GSMA data on sub-Saharan Africa telecom operators. With 600,000+ off-grid tower sites globally, fuel delivery, fuel theft, and generator maintenance represent a quantified recurring cost with existing budget for alternatives. |
| 2–5 yr | Battery replacement cycle creating maintenance burden at scale Battery-backed remote infrastructure requires scheduled service visits, replacement logistics, and waste handling every 2–5 years per site. At network scale, this is a recurring operational cost that grows with density rather than declining with technological progress. |
| €50k–200k/km | Grid extension cost in rural or difficult terrain Grid extension to remote agricultural sites, infrastructure nodes, or off-grid locations is economically irrational in thousands of current deployment scenarios. The historical alternative to grid extension has been diesel — not an engineered autonomous option in the relevant power class. |
| NIS2 | EU regulatory mandate for critical infrastructure resilience The EU NIS2 directive imposes power resilience requirements on critical infrastructure operators across energy, water, transport, and digital sectors. Grid-dependent backup systems create compliance exposure. Autonomous distributed power nodes address this at the infrastructure architecture level. |
| ~2× by 2030 | Projected data centre power demand growth (IEA) IEA projects global data centre consumption could approximately double to ~945 TWh by 2030. This increases grid congestion, raises the cost of reliable power for all infrastructure, and creates demand for distributed local power at edge nodes operating in constrained grid environments. |
| Confirmed | EU grid modernisation urgency — Eurelectric / EPRS Eurelectric and EPRS signal urgent investment need in European distribution infrastructure. Grid fragility is now a regulatory and institutional agenda — not a future scenario. Distributed autonomous power nodes are a direct architectural response. |

This structural dependency on fuel logistics, maintenance cycles, and grid extension defines the problem space where autonomous power nodes such as VENDOR.Max are positioned.
These deployment directions reflect the operational fit of an autonomous power node in environments defined by infrastructure isolation, maintenance constraints, or grid instability. Directions are ordered by commercial priority, pain signal strength, and power-range fit. Telecom and agriculture are first-priority. AI/edge and mobile infrastructure are strategic narrative directions at the current validation stage.
Telecom & Remote Infrastructure
Towers, relays, and remote communications nodes require continuous uptime. VENDOR.Max is designed for autonomous site continuity where diesel logistics, maintenance dependency, and weak-grid exposure create recurring operational cost. GSMA data documents 30–60% diesel share of OPEX for a significant portion of off-grid tower operators, with 600,000+ sites globally — the strongest quantified pain signal aligned with the VENDOR.Max power range.
Explore Telecom Tower PowerAgriculture & Rural Infrastructure
Rural operations cannot depend on fragile maintenance cycles or unstable power access. VENDOR.Max is designed for autonomous infrastructure across agricultural sites, irrigation support, field operations, and distributed rural facility deployment. Distance from grid, weak-grid conditions, and service cost make local resilient power operationally essential in this environment.
Explore Agriculture InfrastructureEmergency & Disaster Resilience
In post-grid-failure conditions — floods, smoke, ash, dust — fragile backup supply chains often become the operational failure point. VENDOR.Max is designed for autonomous local power in emergency and disaster-response environments where continuity cannot depend on weather recovery or centralised infrastructure repair timelines.
Explore Emergency ResilienceUtilities, Water & Underground Critical Infrastructure
Water infrastructure, remote utility nodes, underground systems, tunnels, and enclosed urban-critical environments operate where maintenance access is expensive and solar-based solutions are structurally inapplicable. VENDOR.Max is designed for autonomous infrastructure continuity in NIS2-driven resilience scenarios where local autonomous power is architecturally relevant.
Explore Utilities & Water InfrastructureOff-Grid Homes, Remote Facilities & Micro-Settlements
For remote properties, shelters, isolated facilities, and off-grid residential environments, the question is working local power where grid access is absent, unstable, or economically irrational. VENDOR.Max is positioned as an infrastructure-grade autonomous power node for remote continuity. A priority reservation path for off-grid properties is available ahead of commercial launch.
Explore Off-Grid Homes & Remote FacilitiesAI / Edge Infrastructure Resilience
As grid congestion from AI compute demand grows, localised power continuity for edge and AI inference infrastructure is becoming an increasingly relevant design question. VENDOR.Max is positioned as a forward infrastructure narrative in this context — not as a claim of prime-power replacement for large data centres, which remains outside the current deployment scope.
Explore AI / Edge InfrastructureVENDOR.Drive — Mobile Infrastructure Power
VENDOR.Drive represents the transport-adjacent implementation path of the VENDOR.Max architecture — a higher-power mobile infrastructure direction for vehicle-based and fleet-adjacent scenarios. Presented here as a strategic deployment path derived from the VENDOR.Max infrastructure layer, not as a commercial automotive or mass-market EV charging product at the current stage.
