FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Servato’s Alex Rawitz to Present Active Battery Management Solutions at Battery Power 2016

Discussion to Highlight Best Practices for Power Reliability

NEW ORLEANS and DENVER – August 3, 2016 – Servato Corp., a leading provider of energy management solutions announced today that Business Development Manager, Alex Rawitz, will present a session on Adaptive Charging at Battery Power 2016. The talk promises to shed light on the need for active battery management to better support the demands of mission critical services, particularly in telecommunications networks. 

The session, Adaptive Charging, a Further Development of Intermittent Float for Charge Maintenance of VRLA Batteries in Telecommunications Standby Systems, will detail the ongoing development of Servato’s unique adaptive charging solution and the benefits associated with the method compared to conventional float charging. Mr. Rawitz will also highlight case studies whereby Servato’s unique procedure for testing and charging batteries has detected battery and other equipment issues.

Servato Business Development Manager Alex Rawitz wrote for Disaster Recovery Journal on how infrastructure based companies can prepare for disasters by aiming to minimize service downtime caused by power outages. Of course protecting backup power, particularly batteries, through proactive maintenance is essential to avoiding power-related service interruptions. 

Disasters can be difficult for any business, but they are especially challenging for infrastructure based companies. These companies must protect physical assets that are often widely distributed geographically and technically complex. The manpower to cover the distance and the scope of technology is difficult to summon for routine maintenance, much less during emergencies.

As Alex goes on to write, "Given these exacerbating factors, infrastrucutre-based companies need to consider precautions that can speed recovery time and hopefully limit service outages in the first place by mitigating risk factors." The first proactive step is backup power. Few companies have the ability to devote the necessary manpower to maintaining adequate backup power, which is where automation comes into play.

Proactive battery management offers not just more reliable power during disaster scenarios but also cost-savings through automation. Alerts offer more information that helps technicians prioritize everything from routine maintenance to emergency response. Insight into the site's true state can improve response time by hours. 

"Taking the full view of monitoring, automation, and management, I envision sites that combine monitoring alerts with constant site awareness, predictive analytics...and the ability to complement automated site management with remote technician capabilities."

Marching towards the world is the Internet of Things (IoT), the technological trend of connecting everything to the Internet. It seems every industry is busily preparing for the rush of updated products and services that will capitalize on IoT. This puts growing pressure and expectations on telecommunications companies, the companies that provide the connectivity that will actually enable an IoT future. The Internet of Things will only be as useful as networks are expansive, fast and reliable.  

Servato CEO and Chairman Chris Mangum Writes for ISE Magazine

"Batteries are the foundation for backup power across the telecommunications industry. However, despite the growing investment in expanding bandwidth and coverage, backup power has not enjoyed the same attention. As the Internet of Things expands (Cisco predicts 50 billion connected devices by 2020), telecommunications companies must ensure not just connectivity to PCs and phones but to billions of devices from home appliances to industrial equipment and public safety assets. With this proliferation of new devices, many of which will deliver critical services to individuals and businesses, the impact of service outages grows exponentially."

Servato Launches New Network Battery Management Appliance

Smaller, Single-String Device Expands Remote Management and Monitoring Capabilities for IoT

NEW ORLEANS − March 22, 2016 – Servato Corp., a leading provider of energy management solutions, today announced the launch of its newest remote management appliance, the Smart Power System-148™ (SPS-148™). The new appliance builds upon the SPS™ line’s unique capabilities and value proposition for automated management and monitoring of standby batteries. No other solution in the market today has Servato’s demonstrated ability to optimize battery life by intelligently and adaptively managing batteries based on proprietary state of health data and predictive analytics. 

Business Development Manager Alex Rawitz wrote for the 2016 Spring/Summer issue of CCA Voice. The article outlines a proactive approach to maintaining network power.

 "Just like an individual’s health, there are many aspects of a healthy network. A big part of a healthy network that is often out of sight and out of mind is backup power. Like individual healthcare, there is an increasing need to focus on preventative wellness in the network by proactively using data. As the Internet of Things (IoT) revolution grows, IoT will add new stresses, require new abilities, and demand more from the aging infrastructure of networks and carriers across the U.S. To realize an IoT future, it is necessary to improve best practices around network health, including backup power."

Wireless Week's Diana Goovaerts interviewed Servato CEO and Chairman Chris Mangum on the importance of backup power to the Internet of Things.

While depleted smart phone batteries are the worst night mare of many individuals, the batteries that protect wireless networks are out of sight and out of mind even for many of the network operators. Hundreds of thousans of cell sites have dozens of batteries each and they all have to be tested and monitored to ensure network service.
