Monitoring of Telcotowers in Latin America

Challenge

Mobile phone towers in Latin America are often exposed to extreme weather conditions such as tropical storms. Thhese can cause considerable damage and resulting failures. In addition, the often high temperatures and an increase in humidity in this climate zone can lead to a drop in performance. Usually, a large part of the base stations are supplied with power, which is generated by diesel generators and batteries. In order to maintain operation, operators of these telecommunication towers must be informed at all times whether the power is guaranteed. In addition to power failures caused by weather-related damage, a too low diesel filling level can also impair the transmission power of the mobile phone towers. Expensive failures due to maintenance and dissatisfied customers are the result. Likewise, both maintenance and the replacement of worn out equipment are often carried out according to fixed cycles. Instead of proactively carrying out repairs or maintenance using smart solutions, they are usually only implemented when there is an urgent need. Especially when taking into account distribution in remote areas, there is enormous potential for our customers to save costs and time.

» Repairs and maintenance are complex and cost-intensive

In addition, the transmission towers regularly become the target of theft and vandalism. It is not uncommon for any damage caused by this not to be noticed at an early stage. As a result, the provision and quality of mobile communications services suffer.
