The telecommunications market has become a major consumer of power. The Internet of Things reached an astounding 5 billion “things” in 2015. With so much growth, service continuity continues to be a must. That is why telecom base stations are equipped with uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems to provide backup power when utility power becomes unavailable.

Anyone in the industry knows that downtime is costly. That’s why every data center is equipped with an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) system. However, we don’t always think about how wide reaching those costs can be if the UPS system doesn’t do what it’s supposed to do – power the data center when the main power supply has gone down.
