The PowerOasis team came out of Motorola, where they spent 20 years building three generations of mobile networks. PowerOasis CEO John O’Donohue noticed that development was focused on radio architecture (2G, 2.5G, 3G & 4G) while cell site power solutions hadn’t fundamentally changed in 20 years. With the next billion mobile subscribers to be found in emerging markets, with limited electrification and unreliable grid connections, John saw an opportunity to transform the power infrastructure at cell sites, reducing power consumption by 50% and increasing site uptime & reliability.
