Telecom networks

Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) / Remote terminals – FTTX / Access networks / Base stations for wireless networks / Cable networks / Solar and wind powered systems / Central offices / Fuel cell powered systems

Availability and quality are the watchwords in today’s always-on, connected world. There has never been a greater need for reliable back-up power to meet the high expectations of telecom network operators and their customers.

Whatever the application – fixed wireline, cable or cellular – Saft can offer the most appropriate battery technology, nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd), nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) or lithium-ion (Li-ion). This enables us to design, manufacture and supply the optimum, efficient and reliable, back-up power system.

Performance that’s sustainable

Saft batteries are designed to meet the specific power challenges of fixed and mobile telecom networks, at switching sites, radio base stations and customer premises, including:

• environment – remote locations, high operating temperatures (especially in outdoor cabinets), energy saving (by obviating special air-conditioned battery rooms)
• performance – long life, reliability, robustness and long storage capability
• simple to use: compatible with Telecom charging systems, low-maintenance or maintenance-free.
• economics – low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

Variety of battery functions:

• Power back-up
  • outdoor cabinets
  • compact cabinets (such as in GSM, GSM-R, CDMA and UMTS applications, local loops)
  • central office back-up in hot climates or in critical / strategic locations
• Start up
  • diesel generator starting
  • fuel cell starting
• Renewable Energy Storage
  • solar and/or wind -powered sites
