The HPS Korea Co. Ltd. has exclusive rights to maintain HITEC Power Protection UPS solutions in Korea and HITEC Power Protection will supply parts, technical supports, and training to only HPS Korea Co. Ltd in Korea. HITEC Power Protection provides required trainings and repair parts for testing and maintaining of HITEC- DRUPS in USFK to HPS Korea Co. Ltd. due to exclusive rights in Korea. So other contractors would not have access to the expertise and authorized parts to successfully satisfy the requirement of this HITEC-DRUPS maintenance.
