Overview
Thousands of sites. Every one has to stay on.
Tower estates rely on lead-acid batteries and diesel at remote sites that are costly to visit. Batteries age unseen, generators need regular refuelling, and an outage at a single site affects thousands of customers.
EMS lithium cabinets give longer backup in a smaller footprint, recharge from the grid or solar PV, and report health across the whole estate so maintenance is planned rather than reactive.

FAQ
Questions from telecoms teams.
Can’t see your question? Our engineers answer within one working day.
How long can a site run on battery?
Autonomy depends on site load and the cabinet configuration. We size each design to your required backup time, typically several hours to a full day for macro sites.
Can it replace lead-acid strings?
Yes. Lithium cabinets offer more usable capacity in a smaller footprint, longer life and continuous health reporting.
Can it work at sites with weak grid supply?
Yes. iCabinet recharges from the grid or solar PV and runs equipment from its industrial outlets, so it can ride through interruptions at remote sites.
How do we monitor a large estate?
Every cabinet reports over 4G to a single dashboard, with alerts and health trends across the whole tower portfolio.
