Telecommunication Background and Trends

The telecommunications segment consists of companies that transmit data, voice, audio, or video across the globe.  There is an increasing trend towards wireless transmission which is currently supported in many regions of the world by the fourth-generation long-term evolution (4G LTE).  Consumers are demanding faster speeds, more data, security, and other features which is requiring a 5G technology upgrade to the telecommunication networks.

The amount of critical data that is being transmitted is growing with the dawn of the Internet of Things.  This makes the telecommunications network even more important today, and more so tomorrow as technology advances.  The AGM battery plays an essential role in the telecommunications network.  If the electric grid becomes unstable, AGM battery backup powers the network and ensures the flow of data and voice. 

What is an AGM Battery?

AGM batteries, or absorbent glass mat batteries, are a technological improvement to traditional flooded lead batteries. Over the years, AGM has become the advance lead battery choice in global telecommunication networks due to its reliability, scalability, and maintenance-free design. 

The AGM battery has been the global choice backing up telecommunication networks.  AGM batteries are a proven technology, reliable, maintenance-free, safe, and recyclable.

• Applications

  Telecommunications, data, and life support systems need backup batteries that are reliable, maintenance-free, and long-lasting. H&V battery separators ensure they perform at peak condition.

  Features include:

  • Reserve capacity optimization
  • High-porosity for maximum electrolyte volume
  • Cycling optimization
  • Electrolyte stratification resistance
  • Compression maintenance (recovery)
  • High-rate discharge performance
  • Chemical purity and consistency
  • Thickness and basis-weight control
  • Electrolyte–filling efficiency
  • Wrapping/stacking efficiency
  • Assembly defect reduction (rips, splits, tears, and punctures)
  • Paste imperfection protection (paste lumps, spurs, etc.)

  Our EnergyGuard^® DB separator offers peak performance while helping to improve manufacturing efficiency and reduce assembly defects. EnergyGuard separators use a small portion of synthetic fibers to greatly improve tensile and puncture strength. Our all-glass product lines, BGO-65 and BGCB, exhibit excellent compression properties and are the most widely used all-glass products in the global market.
