The solution promises to lower costs and greenhouse emissions from cell towers in rural Angola .
“ Megmar ’ s expert local market knowledge , energy and openness enabled us to work closely together to calibrate the PowerX AI ,” said Justin Head , CEO at PowerX . “ Together , we have built a solution to meet its clients ’ financial and environmental objectives in a way that no other solution could . We are now managing the load and energy requirements of the tower site without human interaction , in real time – it ’ s a radical new way of doing things .”

Properly diagnosing the problem can often only be done on-site , so the engineer might not even have all the right kit in their truck .
