In recent years, telecom sites all over the world have been suffering from battery theft.
The Problem
The assumption was that batteries were being stolen for
recycling lead contents or for self-use. But it turns out that a large part is
smuggled outside the borders and some are even sold in the local black market.
This phenomenon is increasing. Mobile network operators are
spending hundreds of thousands of dollars every year on replacing stolen
batteries and security.

The theft of the batteries and the damage to telecom sites has
the potential to cause a serious impact not only on the industry, but also on the
economy, by causing disruptions to the network provisions, while disconnecting
many areas from services, including essential services.
This phenomenon also does not overlook LIB batteries, which are frequently stolen.
Additional Challenges
The 5G era is approaching and brings with it additional challenges:
- Increase in the number of sites
