Telecom

Telecom sites have stringent availability targets and a mix of unattended remote sites (cell towers, MSANs, remote exchanges) plus larger core-network equipment in dedicated rooms. The Standby Systems telecom taxonomy lists the same general product set as data-centres for the AC side: rack-form-factor Vision Rack for low-criticality 1U gear, Sentinel Pro / Sentinel Rack online double-conversion for mission-critical loads, and Pure Line for higher-density rack and tower deployments.

This vault covers the AC UPS side only. Telecom sites also have substantial DC plant (–48 V battery strings on the radio side), but those products do not appear on the Standby Systems UPS taxonomy. SNMP monitoring (typically via NetMan 204 for non-native units) is operationally important since most telecom sites are unattended and faults must surface to the NMS.

What to size for

• Per-site total: radios + transmission + networking + monitoring + air-conditioning starter (kVA-class typically 1–10)
• Long battery runtime when no diesel backup is available (sometimes hours rather than minutes)
• Robust environmental envelope at remote sites — temperature in particular
• Remote-monitoring requirement (SNMP via NetMan 204 or native SNMP on Sentinel Dual SDU / Sentinel Tower)

Recommended products

• Vision Rack — line-interactive 800/1100 VA for 1U network gear in protected cabinets
• Sentinel Pro — 700–3000 VA online double-conversion at remote sites
• Sentinel Rack — rack-mount sibling at 1.5 / 3 kVA
• Pure Line — 1–10 kVA tower/rack for higher-density sites
