Given today's highly competitive marketplace for mobile subscribers, and the strict performance regulations by regulatory bodies, carriers need to ensure that the network can continue to provide service if the primary power systems fail. BatteryCorp ensures that its carrier customers have the data they need to deliver that backup power when and where it is needed to help mobile customers stay connected. BatteryCorp is committed to providing solutions to mobile network operators that contribute to their reliable services and improve their operational efficiencies. BatteryCorp's OMS(TM)- BatteryTrak is a web-based service that automatically synchronizes test data gathered by trained technicians and produces distinct reports and analyses for use by network, regional and local management. Its budgeting, forecasting and runtime analytics have become integral tools used by carriers to manage critical backup resources.
