Understanding the site vandalism problem

The accepted industry standard is to deploy lead acid or lithium batteries for back up purposes These batteries are prone to theft and there is major site vandalism problem for the industry due to these batteries which are stolen and resold elsewhere.

The solution that Moropa Site Solutions is implementing is a zinc bromide based battery Moropa is the first company to deploy this battery onto a telecoms tower site in Africa.

A key KPI for any mobile operator is network availability By having a robust and theft proof back up battery solution, tenants of the Moropa sites will enjoy better site availability when the grid is not available, therefore better network availability.
