On May 29, 1989, Emtel became the first private cell phone operator in Mauritius. A subsidiary of the Currimjee group, one of the country’s largest and oldest industrial groups, Emtel embarked on the adventure even though the concept of mobile telephony was only very vague in Mauritius. Already, in terms of fixed telephony, many regions, even those located in urban areas, are not covered by the incumbent operator, Mauritius Telecom. In 2005, Emtel will launch the first 3G network on the African continent. Today, the operator has some 350,000 subscribers and 250 employees.
It manages more than 250 relay sites and transmitters spread across the country, all of which are backed up by gel battery packs.
With a total of over 2,500 battery packs (monobloc or single-cell), regeneration has emerged as an unavoidable economic solution for maintaining and upgrading an asset worth €800,000..
A workshop was specifically built for this purpose with a BRT20 regenerator and a discharge bench to organize a global regeneration of the park over 3 years.
The Batterie Plus equipment deployed enables a general inventory of the fleet to be carried out, while at the same time putting the packs in place through their paces in a real-life emergency situation.
2 approaches were discussed:
– The generic approach based on the initial technical characteristics given by battery manufacturers
– The specific approach, which focuses on the real needs of installations (which have sometimes changed significantly since they were commissioned, through the addition of extra equipment), and on carrying out tests in both discharge and regeneration situations.
