Implementing Power Visibility for Off-Grid Solar Hybrid Sites using the SiteBoss Site Controller Summary: Mountaintops and other higher altitude locations are excellent places to locate telecom sites due to the vast distances that can be covered from a single point. At the same time, mountaintops are difficult-to-reach sites locations that can make monitoring and service […]
Case Study Introduction Public safety networks have somewhat different needs than other networks. Especially in a large region with high temperatures like in the Middle East, network resiliency is a paramount concern. One of the main concerns with country-wide deployment is the fact that some sites can be located in extremely remote and distant locations […]

Introduction The customer is a North American mobile network operator with remote cabinet sites implemented nationwide. Their plan was to build a very large network, deploying Asentria’s devices as the network itself was deployed. It was a cabinet solution, so Asentria’s products were designed to be integrated into cabinets in an integration facility before being […]
Executive SummaryRecent weather-related disasters have illustrated both the public’s reliance on cell phones for communicating in emergency situations, as well as the effect of widespread power outages on the cellular network itself. Cellular phones are no longer considered an additional method of communication for many people, instead they are their only means of communicating. The cellular network can be considered an important […]
Introduction Cell phone networks become critical public safety infrastructure during major natural disasters. After Hurricane Sandy in the northeastern United States, many cell site locations were forced to operate on backup power sources for up to several weeks, leading to generators running beyond their fuel storage capacity. Our client re-fueled generator tanks but it was […]
Introduction Arguably the most critical time to keep a cellular network up and running is during an emergency situation like extreme weather or a natural disaster. This is not only when problems are most likely to occur, but also the time when fixing problems takes the most time, has the highest cost, and could be risky […]

Telcos are Joining the Green Revolution
Climate change is one of the most significant issues of our times and a real threat to our global security. If we look specifically at the carbon footprint of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector alone, it is currently making up around 1.5% of total global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A paper published in the […]
Telecom Site Automation – Managing Networks of Site Automation Devices
How do you manage a network of SiteBoss appliances once deployed in the field? The SiteBoss appliances are devices used within a telecom network operator’s network of edge communications sites. These intelligent devices normalize data from a variety of power, security, and environmental sub-systems located in these sites — a more detailed description of this […]
The ROI on Telecom Site Automation Solutions
Many operators ask us about the return on investment (ROI) for implementing telecom site automation (TSA) solutions. On occasion, Asentria has created ROI calculations for specific operators based on their estimates of costs on truck rolls, network downtime, fuel theft, and more. TSA solution savings comes from two main categories: network resilience and network efficiency. […]
Reducing Telecom Truck Roll Operation Costs with Automation
In a very competitive global industry, telecom operators must balance the ongoing customer satisfaction against reducing company operating costs. One of the most significant costs in managing telecom towers are site visits or truck rolls. Truck rolls refer to situations where a site engineer or field service technician is dispatched, usually involving a vehicle, to […]
