The Prototype Implementation of an IoT-based Framework for Energy Reliability and Asset Security in Base Stations

The paper discusses an Internet of Things-based framework that is suitable for designing cost-effective Smart Base Stations that need energy delivery continuity and asset security. Also, the implementation of a prototype of a Smart Base Station that is based on the proposed IoT framework is described. In addition, a field trial of the implemented prototype is presented. Overall, we show that the discussed IoT-based framework is an important tool for reducing interruptions of telecommunication services in Base Stations and, as a consequence, avoiding expenses with fines.
