In today’s communications age, consumers and organisations expect 24/7 access to data and connectivity. This places enormous pressure on telecoms providers and data centre operators to maintain strict uptime standards. For Facilities Managers, Procurement Teams, and senior decision-makers, power continuity isn’t optional — it’s mission-critical. We’ve delivered uninterrupted power across 150 fibre network sites, demonstrating the scale and reliability this sector demands.
For decades, Shenton Group has supported telecoms companies and data centres with dependable, scalable power solutions. We understand the unique challenges of high-demand environments and the importance of uninterrupted service for both operational and financial performance, including delivering uninterrupted power solutions across a national rollout of 150 fibre network sites, and providing ongoing national maintenance support to a major gas network provider’s critical remote infrastructure, a similarly distributed, always-on operating model to telecoms.
Our solutions include:
These combined solutions ensure your operations remain resilient, even during unexpected failures or planned maintenance.
See how we’ve helped leading telecoms providers and data centres maintain uptime and protect their operations:
Telecoms and data centre estates are rarely a single site — they’re a distributed network of locations, often including remote or unmanned cabinets and exchanges. This changes what “power continuity” needs to mean in practice:
