Telecoms
Generators for telecoms base stations and infrastructure: DC generators, small sets built for long service intervals and fuel efficiency, vehicle solutions.
Base stations, transmission systems and network equipment require uninterrupted power to maintain mobile communications, emergency calls and data connections. As these sites are often in remote, hard-to-reach locations, fuel efficiency and reliability are the key requirements for a telecom generator.
What matters in telecoms?
- DC or AC: DC generators that supply the batteries and telecoms equipment directly reduce conversion losses.
- Fuel efficiency: At remote sites, every litre of fuel carries a transport cost. Correct sizing and cyclic operation with batteries reduce consumption.
- Service interval: Because it is hard for the service team to reach the site, long service intervals and durable components are important.
- Climate conditions: Extreme heat or cold, dust and humidity; the canopy and cooling system should be chosen to suit the site.

Frequently asked questions
Why are DC generators used at base stations?
Telecoms equipment and battery banks run on direct current (DC). A DC generator charges the batteries directly, reducing AC-DC conversion losses and cutting fuel consumption and running hours.
How is a generator operated at an off-grid base station?
At off-grid sites, the generator can run in cyclic operation with a battery bank: the generator charges the batteries and stops, and the load is supplied from the batteries. This method significantly reduces fuel consumption and maintenance needs.
