Battery storage (BESS)
Secure links for battery management, grid services and site security at battery energy storage (BESS) sites. These sites earn money by responding to the grid, so a dropped connection costs revenue.

Typical set-ups
Primary and backup control links
Grid services need a dependable link. A dual-modem or dual-SIM router keeps two networks available, and many operators add a second router as an independent path.
Typical kit: Teltonika RUTM52 (dual modem) or RUT956, with SIMs on different networks.
Site CCTV and access
Battery sites need perimeter cameras and gate access, ideally on a separate connection from the control network.
Typical kit: Teltonika RUT951 or a 5G router for multi-camera sites.
Things to check before you buy
- Two networks for the control link, not one.
- Power backup for the routers if the site design requires it.
- Antennas outside steel containers.
From Teltonika
Teltonika publishes case studies showing its routers in real projects. See: connectivity for energy storage systems. Teltonika's documentation wiki covers set-up for every router we sell.

Questions
Why use a dual-modem router on a BESS site?
A dual-modem router keeps two mobile networks connected at the same time, so if one fails the other is already up. For grid services that makes a real difference compared with a single-modem router that has to switch.
