The problem

Thousands of sites, no line of sight

Despite continued industry growth, telecom operators face persistent operational challenges — particularly around fuel supply management for the generators that power base stations across Nigeria. With thousands of dispersed sites, manual fuelling systems create significant vulnerability to theft, downtime, and uncontrolled costs.

Key challenges addressed

Managing fuel supply across geographically dispersed base station locations nationwide

Manual fuelling setups prone to theft, delays, and inaccurate reconciliation

No real-time visibility into fuel levels at remote tower sites

Generator downtime caused by dry-run incidents and delayed refuelling

High operational cost from inefficient fuel management across thousands of sites

Services delivered

Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) installation at base stations

Remote fuel level monitoring across dispersed tower networks

Automated alerts for low fuel and dry-run prevention

Fuel consumption reporting and reconciliation

Tamper detection and theft prevention systems

Integration with existing tower management systems
