Challenges of Traditional Maintenance

Traditional maintenance methods in telecom power systems create several obstacles for you as a network operator. Manual inspections and outdated equipment often lead to higher costs, increased downtime, and safety concerns. As your network grows, these challenges become even more significant.

Labor and Cost Issues

You face rising labor costs when you rely on manual maintenance. Each site visit requires skilled technicians, travel time, and specialized tools. The use of traditional VRLA batteries adds to your workload. These batteries have a short lifecycle and need frequent replacements. They also require high maintenance and do not perform well in extreme temperatures. Their lower energy density means you need more space and heavier equipment at each site.

Other common issues include:

As your number of sites increases, a single failure in a traditional system can force you to shut down the entire unit. This impacts coverage and increases labor costs.
Traditional systems have fixed capacity, making expansion difficult.
Low conversion efficiency under partial load leads to wasted energy.
Maintenance times are long, which raises your operational expenses.

You spend more time and money on repairs and replacements, which can slow down your network’s growth.

Risks of Manual Inspection

Manual inspections introduce safety risks and increase the chance of human error. Technicians must often work in harsh environments or remote locations. Without continuous monitoring, you may miss early warning signs of equipment failure. Data centers that lack environmental sensors experience more frequent failures because issues go undetected.

Metric	Quantifiable Impact / Percentage
Downtime reduction	15%–30% decrease
Network downtime reduction	35% reduction
Power-related outage reduction	Up to 40% fewer outages

Continuous monitoring of temperature and humidity is critical for reliable operation. When you depend on manual checks, you risk longer downtimes and more frequent outages.

Automation is now essential for modern telecom infrastructure. You need real-time data processing, predictive maintenance, and self-optimizing systems to keep up with network demands. Automated network orchestration and AI-driven management help you respond quickly to changing conditions and reduce manual intervention.

The shift to automated solutions like the Telecom Power System helps you overcome these traditional challenges and ensures your network remains efficient and reliable.
