Caterpillar is a global leader in energy equipment for many sectors, including telecoms. In the tower industry they have supplied generator sets and hybrid systems for many years. As well as powering cell sites, Caterpillar has also been a leader in the data centre industry since its birth, powering much of the digital infrastructure the world relies on today. As the world transitions to 5G increased power demand will lead to some very interesting challenges, and an increase in the commonalities of the two spaces. Caterpillar, and its dealer network, have been offering remote asset management, and ESCO-like services for many years, and will play a major role in telecom tower power for years to come.
