Simplify
Network Hardening

Your wireless network needs be to online 24/7—our Backup Power program can help

Service disruptions can cost you time and money, making hardening your communications sites a priority. Feel confident in the event of storms, disasters, or an unreliable power grid with our turnkey Backup Power program.

As the only tower company to own, operate, and maintain backup power solutions for more than 10 years, we offer an industry-proven program that’s fully managed to simplify your network hardening. Avoid operational burdens and reduce costs associated with site visits, truck rolls, and battery replacements. Our Backup Power solution provides 99.99% available up time and can run for up to 100 hours before automatically refueling for seamless power, even in the most challenging circumstances. Better than battery backup or using your own generator, we offer carrier-grade resiliency, while eliminating the need to purchase, install, and maintain more equipment and lease additional ground space.

Benefits of Outsourcing Backup Power

When considering your site hardening options, it is important to evaluate the resources required to self-perform against the value, convenience, and reliability that comes with leveraging a proven provider.

Site Resiliency Where You Need It

Our approximately 5,600+ generators are strategically located across the U.S. in high-traffic areas vulnerable to major weather events. If a generator is not available on a site where you need it, we may be able to secure one.
