GENERATORS Serving Telecommunications

Managed Generator Services understands that one of their greatest challenges is keeping cell tower sites powered and in service. To keep messages and vital data getting through phone lines, you need backup and standby generators designed and installed specifically for this purpose.

NFPA Regulatory Compliance

When a communication or cell phone site loses power even momentarily, calls are dropped, and data flow is interrupted while ground equipment goes through the reset process. Managed Generator Services provides battery backup and emergency generators provide uninterruptible power to prevent this issue.

We Keep the Power on at Cell Towers

Managed Generator Services can provide diesel and natural gas generators to provide the standby power needed for cell towers. They work well with critical power components such as UPS systems, rectifiers, and HVAC systems that ensure power will be continuous as the generator starts and runs up to speed. Managed Generators Services can also provide generators paired with sound-attenuated enclosures that reduce the noise levels for city or urban cell tower locations. We can also provide extreme weather-resistant enclosures if your tower is in an area that’s often subject to a variety of weather events.

Like most generators, the generators used at cell towers require maintenance and testing. Each generator manufacturer and model require specific maintenance. Aside from building the infrastructure needed to sustain power, Managed Generator Services is also able to provide preventative maintenance tailored to each system’s unique needs. Maintenance is scheduled depending on each customer’s equipment’s specific needs.

Communication is key for communities and businesses alike. Managed Generator Services has the power solutions you need to keep communication capabilities up and running, even when the power grid goes down.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the main risk when a telecom site loses power briefly?

Even short outages can drop calls and interrupt data while equipment resets. Standby power reduces the chance of preventable interruptions by supporting continuity when the grid is unstable.

Do telecom tower generators need a different approach than standard commercial sites?

Often, yes. Tower sites can be more exposed to weather and harder to access quickly, so the maintenance plan needs to be consistent and built around the realities of the location and the equipment.

Can generators work alongside equipment like UPS systems and rectifiers?

Yes. Telecom power setups often include UPS systems, rectifiers, and HVAC systems. A generator supports standby power, but the full system works best when all components are considered together.

What should we consider for tower locations near urban areas?

Noise can be a real concern. Sound attenuated enclosures are one option that can help reduce noise levels for city or urban tower locations.

How do weather conditions affect generator planning for towers?

Sites exposed to a variety of weather events need configurations that match the environment. Weather-resistant enclosures and thoughtful planning help reduce the risk of avoidable performance issues over time.
