How Telecom can leverage 5G and Edge Cloud Computing: A Case Study

Telco communication towers are the backbone of mobile and internet providers. Our client experienced frequent outages leading to an unsatisfactory uptime of 95%. This resulted in a significant loss in business driven by low customer satisfaction. The true source of the problem was asset related issues at remote, hard to reach sites, especially during bad weather. This made manual asset maintenance and checkup both reactive and expensive.

Techolution provided a solution to the Telco that delivered considerable operational and business value. Optimizing the management of the assets saved $1.5 Million per site, reduced the energy consumption by 15%, and saved 130 hours per month on compliance checks.

These benefits were accomplished by deploying customized asset monitoring management at each telco tower. Techolution’s proprietary Edge ConnectX Platform connected all the energy assets from each telco tower including the Grid Power, Battery Bank, Diesel Generator, and Air Conditioning. By leveraging edge computing with a centralized, cloud-based dashboard, the sites benefit from optimization of the most critical energy assets. Maintenance engineers could now be dispatched to proactively fix issues supported by AI-powered predictive and prescriptive alerting to reduce outages.
