Saft offers a complete range of telecom battery backup solutions covering wireless and wireline
applications, both indoor and outside
Saft telecom battery technologies include leading edge Li-ion and well proven nickel-based
chemistries that meet every requirement from high power for data centers to high energy for base
stations
Sao Paulo, October 13, 2014 – Saft, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of high-tech industrial
batteries, is showing its broad portfolio of specialized telecom batteries developed to meet the demanding
backup power performance, continuity and optimized total cost of ownership (TCO) requirements of
original equipment suppliers and network operators in Brazil’s fast growing telecoms sector. Saft battery
solutions on show on stand A18 cover lithium-ion (Li-ion) and nickel-based chemistries for wireless and
wireline applications, both indoor and outside, including: Intensium® Flex - high power support for data
centers; Evolion®- when installation footprint, weight, long life and deep cycling capabilities are critical
issues; Tel.X - a maintenance-free solution for on-grid applications; Sunica.plus - offering excellent
chargeability for off-grid installations powered by solar panels; comprehensive service and support at
every stage of a battery system project, from initial enquiry through installation and commissioning to
planned through-life maintenance contracts.
With approximately a third of the region’s population, Brazil is South America’s largest telecom market.
The Brazilian telecommunications services market has now reached US$ 80 billion and by 2017 is
forecasted to reach US$ 100 billion, with nearly all of the world's largest telecom OEMs now having plants
in Brazil . To meet the growth in demand for high technology battery solutions to support the roll out of
new telecoms infrastructure not only in Brazil, but also the general South American region, Saft
established a local sales and technical support office in Brazil, Saft Do Brasil in 2010.
Intensium® Flex Li-ion systems – high-density power in tight spaces for data centers
Intensium Flex is dedicated to data center applications, where it offers high performance and flexibility in a
compact footprint that meets the most demanding operational requirements. The system is available in
high power and medium power versions. Intensium Flex systems are delivered in a 19-inch rack mount
format, integrating Saft's Battery Management Module, safety and communication functions.
Evolion® - the compact lightweight solution that is perfect for base stations or outside plant
Saft’s Evolion Li-ion 48 V telecom battery modules combine compact size and high volumic energy to
deliver the maximum possible performance in a limited footprint - taking up only half the space required
by a conventional VRLA (valve regulated lead-acid) battery. Furthermore, Evolion’s low weight solves the
installation challenges of providing sufficient battery capacity in central offices with limited floor loading
constraints. Evolion also offers a unique combination of float charging capability and high cycling
performance, ensuring that the battery system has a long service life that matches the telecom equipment
it supports.

Tel.X - maintenance-free batteries for demanding on-grid applications
Saft Tel.X nickel-based batteries have been developed to provide an exceptionally long and maintenancefree service life in both wireline and wireless backup power applications, especially in the high
temperatures (over + 40°C) encountered by outside plant in hot regions of the world. Tel.X is also ideally
suited for cabinets, fibre optic installations, BTS/BSCs and other equipment deployed in telecom networks
and offers the option for a rack system suitable for use in level-4 seismic zones.
Sunica.plus – reliable support for solar powered telecom installations
Saft has developed the Sunica.plus nickel-based battery specifically for use in off-grid solar photovoltaic
(PV) installations, where its robust construction and high cycling capability ensures a long, predictable
service life and low maintenance requirements - even when subjected to erratic charging conditions and
operating temperatures fluctuating from - 20˚C to + 50˚C.
More than just batteries – Saft provides end-to-end service and support
Saft offers comprehensive support including battery selection and sizing advice, training, after-sales
installation support - with a special focus on installation and maintenance guidelines to ensure maximum
performance and reliability.
