How to transform innovative battery opportunities in field operational solutions for Telecom/IT

Orange has investigated for decades on innovative energy storage such as batteries aiming to replace the previous technologies by improved solution, but only few attempts have succeeded to reach the level of generalization on the operational field in Telecom core and network central offices, remote access sites and datacenters. This document reports part of the Orange long energy storage quest and ends by latest researches and tests resulting in potential partial replacement of the dominant lead-acid technology and in international ITU-T and ETSI standardization of a systematic approach method for identifying and selecting technologies adapted to operational Telecom application in a shorter time than in the past.
