NEWTON, Mass.-Nextel Communications Inc. and T-Mobile USA Inc. have entered multi-million dollar contracts to use BatteryCorp’s patent-pending OMS solution for battery preventative maintenance.
The OMS solution provides Web-based management for testing, installing and recycling stationary batteries used by telecommunications companies. According to BatteryCorp, Nextel and T-Mobile will benefit from improved reliability of battery deployments, lowered maintenance and procurement expenses, and increased site survivability.
“BatteryCorp is very pleased that these two leaders in the telecommunications industry have recognized the importance of our preventative maintenance solution in monitoring and assuring the life of their stationary batteries,” explained Steven Dworkin, chief executive officer of BatteryCorp. “The blackout last August and the ongoing threat to national security have reinforced the need for the industry to do everything in its power to guarantee the dependability of its services.”
