Servato Introduces New Critical Infrastructure Battery Management System

Technology upgrades reduce implementation costs and provide the most
complete carrier solution for managing backup power

KANSAS CITY, Mo. & BOWLING GREEN, Ky.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Servato Corp., the leading provider of remote battery management, today
announced the launch of its newest remote battery management system, the Smart
Power System-248™ (SPS-248™). While building on Servato’s
foundational and game-changing technology for automated battery
measurements and adaptive charging, the SPS-248™ has significant design
updates that will make it the ideal system for managing a large portion
of network sites and reducing the costs for carriers investing in backup
power management.

The SPS-248™ is Servato’s most economical battery management system on a
cost per string basis. The system is designed to manage two strings of
batteries, but built to scale through daisy-chaining to manage up to 16
strings of 12V VRLAs per site. As a result, the SPS-248™ enables
customers to utilize a single system for the majority of applicable
sites. Two strings of batteries are extremely common in wireline and
wireless networks because two strings are the minimum required to
provide battery redundancy. The SPS-248™ makes managing two-strings more
cost-effective than ever before, and therefore, ideal for any customer –
from small, independent telcos to large national carriers.

To help push backup power investment resources even further, the
SPS-248™ now uses Anderson Connectors, which makes installations as much
as 50% faster, reducing implementation costs for carriers. The system
also packs the best string to rack space ratio. Carriers can invest in
battery management and have confidence they will have room for other
site equipment.

Servato has customers across the country, and many are expected to
deploy the unit when it is available in the first quarter of 2018.

“Over the last five years, Servato has leveraged our strong customer
relationships to source design input for new products,” said Chris
Mangum, CEO of Servato. “The SPS-248™ is a direct result of these
conversations and addresses one of the most important backup battery
configurations in telecommunications landscape. Customer interest is
very high and we expect the new product to be integral in our product
suite.”

Servato will showcase the SPS-248™ at both the Mid-American Telecom
Seminar & Showcase (MATSS), October 16-18 and the Kentucky Telecom
Association – Tennessee Telecom Association Fall Conference and Supplier
Showcase, October 17-19.
