Upgrading a network from 3G to 4G requires 3 times more backup energy storage.

Weight and space savings is a major issue anywhere that backup batteries need to be elevated.

The average 3G cell repeater requires 50kWh, 1600kg (3500lb) of lead-acid batteries.

For the equivalent size and weight, the Panacis LoVESS battery system provides 3 times the power at 150kWh, and offers these additional advantages:

  • No need to re-architect and reinforce the structure of existing older buildings for rooftop installations in urban areas.
  • No need to reinforce towers in remote areas.
  • No special cranes or equipment handling needed.
  • High redundancy with small loss of power if a module fails.
  • Long life requirement, especially deep cycling, means low life cycle costs from reduced maintenance and replacement.
  • Superior cold temperature performance below -20C for unheated installations.

Utilizing 3rd generation lithium ion cell technology to achieve high energy density and long cycle life while significantly reducing weight and size, the LoVESS modular battery system is an excellent direct replacement for lead-acid batteries in applications where reduced size and weight are critical.

Remote Monitoring and Control

The LoVESS battery system provides complete battery information and control at every site, around the block or around the globe, consolidated in one place via Internet.

  • Central office system management and visibility.
  • Generate monthly system health reports that provide the status of the whole system, not just the batteries.
  • Force charge/discharge cycle on any given module, remotely, using built-in load.

Major Infrastructure Upgrades in Emerging Economies

Developing countries all over the world desire the latest wireless communications infrastructure, but the infrastructure to power them may not exist.  Many cell towers are fueled by diesel generators that run continuously. The shipment of lead acid batteries is severely limited by weight issues.

The lithium ion LoVESS battery system can be used in conjunction with a solar or wind supplement to augment existing installations and can replace heavier lead acid batteries, thus improving the environmental footprint on two fronts.
