Maintenance costs can represent half of power opex, which in itself is usually the single largest network operating cost.
Remote Monitoring Systems (RMS) communicate an array of key performance indicators back to the NOC about the generation and consumption of energy. RMS can be integrated with job ticketing and asset lifecycle platforms to enable preventative maintenance, reducing truck rolls, extending the lifecycle of equipment, and making pilferage auditable.
It’s an attractive prospect to only pay for fuel that’s delivered and consumed. Indeed, one of many applications of RMS by towercos is remote meter reading, which reduces site visits while enabling each tenant to be billed for energy on a consumption basis.
