Remote Power Management System for Cellular Sites with Enhanced Features and Redundant Connectivity

Abstract

In today's world, telecommunications infrastructure holds a significance to that of roadways in the early 19th century, serving as a vital link for governments and individuals alike. With heightened market competition and decreasing calling rates, coupled with rising expectations for Quality of Service (QoS), operators are striving to enhance QoS while optimizing resources to manage operational costs. However, challenges such as power shortages and fuel theft persist, leading to frequent network outages. To address these issues, a remote monitoring systems is proposed to prevent fuel theft and report electrical parameters remotely. This system proposes a redundant communication pathway using existing cell site’s physical alarms, eliminating the need for additional servers and SIM cards. Notably, it enhances fault detection capabilities, particularly in detecting gradual fuel theft and addressing voltage fluctuations. These advancements promise to significantly reduce operational expenditure and increase network availability, thereby positively impacting cellular operators' revenue streams.
