Real-Time Visibility for Telecom Infrastructure
Today’s telecom infrastructure is a complex network of distributed sites—cell towers, shelters, micro data centers, and edge locations. As the industry accelerates toward 5G, the pressure to maintain high reliability, minimize downtime, and control operating costs continues to grow.
Modius® OpenData® enables more reliable and cost-effective telecom networks by providing Network Infrastructure Management solutions for legacy and 5G mobile networks, towers, and other network operators to manage power, security, and environmental issues which can be deployed at 1, 10, or 1000s of locations with equivalent performance.
Telecom sites are evolving to include many new intelligent subsystem controllers for DC rectifiers, ATS, batteries, generators, cameras, access controllers, and HVAC. Modius provides all the tools network operators need to manage the performance of mission critical infrastructure, from integration of disparate devices to analytics, to integrated dashboards, all in a “single pane of glass.”
The OpenData difference is real-time operational intelligence (RtOI), which moves analysis to the edge to more efficiently inform network design, pro-active maintenance and efficient repair. Companies with multiple geographically distributed locations see vast improvements in network reliability and operational efficiency. The Modius OpenData best-in-breed integration approach is paired with data management technologies to provide both real-time and historical analysis at multiple levels of an organization.
The OpenData model of collecting, aggregating and encrypting data at the edge before sending to the central servers creates a more robust and cyber-secure transport which can be better managed as standards evolve. With an open architecture, the distributed security between OT and IT layers means compliance standards are maintained for access to OT data. Companies can still employ legacy systems, but now they can be deemed highly secure. The overall result is increased reliability, lower operating costs and higher ROI.
How We Help

OpenData integrates easily with both legacy and new equipment from any manufacturer, consolidating data into a single pane of glass for efficient management and reporting. - Reduced Truck Rolls
By enabling remote diagnostics and management, OpenData minimizes unnecessary site visits, ensuring field teams are dispatched only when truly needed and with the right information. - Scalability and Security
The distributed, edge-ready architecture of OpenData supports secure, scalable deployment from a handful to hundreds of sites, making it ideal for rapid 5G expansion and evolving regulatory requirements.
Clients/Case Studies
Network Operators
The backbone of global connectivity is built on tens of hundreds of edge sites that include tower shelters, regen huts, private network nodes, and other remote locations. These sites support billions of connected devices—from mobile phones to autonomous vehicles.
While IT systems are often monitored effectively, physical infrastructure monitoring remains inconsistent. Operators are investing in backup systems but lack analytics for proactive oversight.

Micro Data Centers
With the rise of IoT and ultra-low latency applications, micro data centers are becoming essential. These compact, self-contained facilities often operate in roadside shelters, tower bases, or industrial lots.
To be effective, micro data centers must be remotely controllable, self-healing, and monitored with high precision. OpenData provides operators with:
- Real-time measurements for voltage, amperage, thermal conditions, and component health
- Integrated controls for non-human-assisted reset and automation
- Centralized dashboards for managing hundreds of edge enclosures
- Support for start-stop logic, alarm escalation, and historical data tracking
Cell Towers and 5G
- Unified monitoring across legacy and modern systems eliminates fragmented tools and limited insights.
- Proactive issue identification helps maintain network reliability and enhance customer experience.
- Scalable platform supports hundreds of sites, ideal for large-scale 5G deployments.
OpenData supports the unique needs of telecom operators managing complex 5G rollouts with advanced features:
- Predictive analytics and capacity planning to anticipate bottlenecks and optimize resource allocation.
- Seamless integration with existing infrastructure for rapid deployment and minimal disruption.
- Convergence of operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) empowers cross-functional teams, supports regulatory compliance, and accelerates digital transformation.
If you don’t know the ambient temp inside your cell site, you are sitting on a time bomb. If it gets too hot, your network is going to break.
