Ecosystem For Integrated Energy Management For Telecom Towers As the tower industry seeks newer means to reduce cost of operations through optimisation and management of energy, the realization that one shoe fits all will not work, is sinking in. There is no point therefore, in force fitting technical solutions crafted in the past, unless they have the strength of promise to deliver measurable performance outcome savings. It is in this context that a technology ecosystem ...

Remote Management of Telecom Infrastructure There are close to 400,000 telecom sites spread far and wide within the country – densely located in urban India and sparsely in the rural hinterland. The ability to monitor, engage and control equipment and its performance is limited not by technology but the inadequate applications. The extent to which technology has been deployed is largely for alarm monitoring which indicates a failure that has already tak...

Renewable Energy for Telecom- Need for a Paradigm Shift We often find ourselves, within the telecom Industry,  at cross roads to decide whether CAPEX is worth spending on renewable energy solutions and exacerbate our predicament with RoI calculations. 60 per cent of our land mass provides for one natural resource ( the sun ) or the other (wind). Yet when we get to the drawing board we look at “sizing” of the solution based on the entirety of ele...

While we built 350,000 towers and counting, their share ability, readiness to support power needs, space availability, reliability and performance of assets- are all but vaguely known to us. Now that we have some time as we aspire to enhance tenancies, it is best us...
