THE uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in telecom It is essential to ensure the day-to-day operations. Without it, companies in this sector can cause serious problems for society, as they will leave their infrastructure exposed to the various risks of the electrical grid. However, it is important that the UPS/uninterruptible power supply (UPS) model is correctly specified for the loads and installation environment, and, in addition, that it is necessary to know how to maintain it properly.

In this post, you will understand which problems are avoided by uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in telecom systems; you will learn about the advantages and solutions offered by Engetron for this segment. Furthermore, you will learn why correctly specifying a UPS offers greater security, as well as tips on how to manage it. Happy reading!

What problems are avoided with uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in telecommunications?

Power outages can not only compromise operations, but also generate significant losses and damage to the reputation of telecommunications companies.

One example occurred in August 2023, when a nationwide blackout affected telephone and internet companies.. According to a report by Money TimesTim received 481 complaints from consumers due to service failures and lack of signal.

Back in July 2024, a global blackout caused widespread disruption, affecting banking, aviation, and communications services.. According to InfomoneyThe company responsible was the cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, whose monitoring product crashed the Windows operating system. Although this problem was not caused by a power failure, the servers went offline and Windows systems displayed the infamous “blue screen of death.” This situation caused CrowdStrike’s stock to fall by 20%.

Given these scenarios, power outages or fluctuations pose a serious threat, as they compromise services and generate enormous losses. Therefore, the use of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) in telecommunications is something that should not be ignored.

What are the advantages of having a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) in telecom?

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) acts as a “lifesaver,” guaranteeing backup power so that telecommunications infrastructure equipment can continue operating. Furthermore, it can operate in parallel, increasing the level of protection and maintaining services and the integrity of the loads.

Next, check out more advantages of uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) for protecting telecom companies:

  • Surge protection

Even small surges can damage equipment. Therefore, even a single affected element can compromise the operation of the telecommunications system. For this reason, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) protects critical loads against surges and maintains a continuous power source, preventing electrical damage.

  • Voltage regulation

Connecting devices with different voltages can lead to system burnout and interruption. Therefore, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is also used to regulate the necessary voltage.

  • Availability of backup power

According to a report by Estado de MinasWith 67% of the world’s population connected to the internet, in this digitized world, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) acts as insurance for energy, protecting equipment and data that support the IT infrastructure of companies that provide social networks or virtual meetings, for example.

Why is specifying the UPS important?

It is essential that the uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for telecommunications be correctly specified to ensure compatibility with the critical loads it will protect and the installation environment. Many brands and models of UPS systems are available on the market. However, not all UPS systems are equivalent in terms of specifications and technology.

In addition to studying market options, it is essential to correctly calculate a UPS and battery solution that supports the entire system, evaluating specifications and the number of loads that will be connected to it.

To do this, you can access the Online Consultant Or request support from Engetron’s application engineering team to analyze your project and recommend the best solution.

The importance of UPS and battery management in the telecommunications environment.

Investing in a good uninterruptible power supply (UPS) for telecom is pointless if it’s not closely monitored. Therefore, having monitoring systems is essential.

THE Engetron IoT SystemIt allows for remote diagnostics, monitoring, and management of UPS systems and batteries. This way, it enables tracking metrics such as mains voltage and the status of the… batteries Uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) prevent failures and extend the lifespan of components.

THE Virtual OscilloscopeThe feature present in this system has multiple measurement channels. This feature can be configured in different ways to increase the accuracy of the analyses. All parameters, alarms, and alerts of the power system, as well as the Virtual Oscilloscope, can be monitored in real time through the Engetron IoT mobile app and web software.

Furthermore, Engetron UPS systems incorporate exclusive IoT technology, representing a step ahead of the competition. manageable uninterruptible power supplies (UPS). This is because they have numerous sensors, a high-capacity CPU, and can issue alerts and be controlled remotely. Therefore, you reduce the need for technical visits, increase reliability, and lower maintenance costs in energy systems.
