Telecom Tower companies need to monitor the passive infrastructure data (e.g., Alarms, Energy parameters, Fuel, Temperature etc) of telecom tower sites using an equipment and simultaneously log the data to the server located remotely at TOC (Tower Operation Centre).

The Telecom operators are optimizing on the capital investments involved in cell site roll-out by entering into sharing arrangements for the passive infrastructure and certain active infrastructure elements. This has led to interesting corporate spin-outs and SPVs holding the infrastructure assets. The infrastructure companies are competing for business from the operators, and uptime of the tower is a critical differentiator for them.

In future, however, the infrastructure companies are believed to compete on the basis of additional value added services like planning and managing infrastructure.

The biggest challenge that the infrastructure companies are facing is the energy situation at a cell site. Effective management of various energy assets like the DG Sets, the EB Power, and the Battery Back-up will be key to successfully meeting the SLAs.

The ConnectM Tower Monitoring Solution is designed to address these challenges. ConnectM’s unique approach is to deploy intelligent analytics for predicting downtime and triggering O&M actions to address the same. The solution offers significant leverage on the remotely collected data for intelligent operator-wise analysis at various hierarchies.

ConnectM has proven and deployed this solution successfully to tier-1 infrastructure companies in India.
