1. Introduction
1.1 Overview
Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) typically rely on electrical infrastructures to power their
network equipment. During times of power outages, or in rural and remote locations where the
availability of power is limited, operators need a reliable backup power source. The Baicells Smart
Uninterruptible Power Supply (SmartUPS) converts AC to DC 48V and supports GigE speeds. It can
power Baicells Long-Term Evolution (LTE) eNodeBs (eNBs) and other equipment such as cameras,
meteorological monitoring equipment, microwave antennae, and security systems (Figure 1-1).
The SmartUPS product has a high protection grade rating of IP66 and is very cost-effective, especially
when compared to traditional indoor and outdoor power cabinets.
