Introduction Asentria SiteBoss products are Linux-based hardware appliances designed to manage and automateremote telecom communication sites to improve the resilience and efficiency of the network. TheSiteBoss products are a category of products that we refer to as telecom site automation that haveevolved from doing simple alarming, to monitoring, controlling, or getting remote or out-of-bandaccess to […]
Telecom Site Automation is a logical and modern extension of what was once referred to by telecom network operators as remote site management, remote monitoring systems (RMS), or simply “site alarming”. Not too many years ago there was a general class of products referred to as a remote terminal unit (RTU). These units were primarily used […]

Introduction Power issues are the most fundamental item that network operators need to monitor and manage at remote sites. The ability to remotely monitor and reboot equipment contributes to both network resilience and network efficiency. Effective monitoring of various power-related sub-systems (AC meters, generators, DC rectifiers, batteries, fuel cells, solar arrays, or other newer hybrid […]
Summary There are a wide variety of networking challenges facing telecom network operators at their remote telecom sites. More and more systems (eg. Generators, HVAC, DC Rectifiers) at remote telecom sites have network based “smart” interfaces that could provide valuable data to help manage the network. The Asentria SiteBoss has a wide variety of both […]
Introduction Although the use of smart IP or serial devices in telecom sites is on the rise, legacy alarms such as contact closures or analog inputs are still widely used in most sites. In many cases these legacy alarms are gathered by base station equipment. As the base station technology ages and needs to be […]

Capturing and Using Aggregated Site Equipment Data from Telecom Sites for Informed Decisions
Managing telecom networks, both wireless and wireline, involves monitoring and interpreting a lot of data from thousands of sites and dozens of data points at each of those sites. Network managers need to know the status of their sites at all times. Especially in the case when abnormal conditions occur, like a power outage or […]
Asentria Releases Two New Hardware Platforms Specifically Designed to Meet Tower Companies Needs
Seattle, WA March 24th, 2022 — Tower companies are taking a larger role in the management of wireless networks worldwide, assuming many operational tasks formerly handled by the world’s mobile network operators. Asentria is excited to release two new tower site hardware devices, the SiteBoss S370 and S240, designed specifically for the global tower market. […]
Solve Telecom Monitoring Challenges with a Dedicated Team
In my last several posts, I discussed how the SiteBoss units we’ve designed and manufactured at Asentria for years are more of a toolset than an out-of-the-box solution. Comparing telecom site automation to what people think of more generically as an IoT solution reveals some other differences. From experience rolling out across many remote telecom sites in […]
The Telecom Site Automation Toolset
In my last blog post, (My Boss Told Me to Go Find an IoT Solution Management for Cell Tower Sites), I talked about one recurring theme related to telecom site automation. There are vast differences between different telecom networks and even within a single telecom network. Suppose we were to use power as an example. […]
Legacy Alarming: Expanding Telecom Sites to Save Time and Money
Although the use of smart IP or serial devices in telecom sites is on the rise, legacy alarms, such as contact closures or analog inputs, are still widely used in most sites. In many cases, these legacy alarms are gathered by old or obsolete equipment. There are significant costs to change out the older alarm […]
My Boss Told Me to Go Find an IoT Solution Management for Cell Tower Sites
I have recently heard someone say that their boss tasked them to find an IoT (Internet of Things) solution to manage multiple cell tower site locations. It didn’t seem like the focus was on what the IoT solution would do, but it was important that it was IoT. It seemed that they thought that what […]
