Active Battery Management in the West

Utah is certainly one of the most beautiful states in the country with a wide array of climates and ecosystems. From the desert to the mountains, the geography of the state makes managing remote sites a challenge. Telcos need to invest in remote management equipment that can help them handle the elements and provide better connectivity.

Free eBook: Adaptive Charging Allows us to Double VRLA Battery Life

In August 2016 Servato Business Development Manager Alex Rawitz presented the principles of Adaptive Charging at the Battery Power conference in Denver, CO. 

The eBook, based on the presentation, describes: 

• The shortcomings of continuous float charging
• Principles of Adaptive Charging and how Servato's hardware and software administers this charging regimen in the field automatically
• Case studies that demonstrate the power of Adaptive Charging to extend battery life, improve battery State-of-Health insight and reduce costs of maintenance.

The views of the panelists below are their views and their views only and do necessarily reflect the views of their employers.

At ISE Expo in San Antonio, Servato convened a panel of telecom experts to discuss how they approach the complex problem of backup power in their networks. The panelists included:
