Can the telecom base station computer room be unattended?

Invited to answer questions in this industry.

The computer room of telecom base station is unattended, which has always been the case.

The three major operators in China have built millions of base stations, so there are millions of computer rooms. It is impossible for so many people to attend.

There are several types of computer rooms in base stations, some in operators' own buildings, many in enterprises and institutions, some in residential areas, some in outdoor self-built simple computer rooms, and some in remote stations. They are basically light boxes and tower equipment, and there is no computer room.

The three major domestic operators have built a large number of base stations, among which China Mobile has 24 1 10,000 4G base stations, Telecom has 1.38 million 4G base stations and China Unicom has 990,000. Now most of the base stations are handed over to China Tower, and China Tower is responsible for maintaining the computer room and supporting equipment such as power supply, air conditioning and tower.

There are so many computer rooms that it is absolutely impossible to arrange people to be on duty. No one has so much manpower and material resources available.

At present, the maintenance of the computer room is basically done by third-party companies, and the related maintenance is daily inspection, and there will be no special person on duty in the computer room.

Most of the current computer rooms are remote Bluetooth locks, so there is no need to be attended when entering the computer room to coordinate the maintenance of the tower. In addition to the personal computer room door is broken, or a few computer rooms without remote door opening, the door is basically opened remotely. Moreover, some computer rooms also have remote monitoring equipment, which can also be monitored remotely.

For the third-party personnel who maintain the computer room, if it is not a power outage, they will conduct regular inspections to check whether the power supply is normal, whether the air conditioner is normal, and maintain the cleanliness of the computer room. This is basically a job.

If there is a power failure and you may be tired, take the generator to the computer room to generate electricity. However, due to the number and number of generators, there are also some computer rooms where no one generates electricity. After a long time, the battery will die.

In short, the base station room has been left unattended. In fact, most of the core network rooms of operators are unattended, except for some key core rooms, which are basically unattended.

Telecom's base station computer room and IDC's computer room are unattended. Moreover, the automation degree of the telecom room is very high, which is amazing.

Due to the huge number of base stations of the three major operators, unattended operation has become a standardized requirement. According to the latest data, there are nearly 2.4 million mobile base stations in China, 6.5438+0.4 million in China Telecom and 6.5438+0.4 million in China Unicom. Therefore, if the base station needs someone on duty, the cost is too high.

In addition to base station equipment, there will be batteries and air conditioners in the base station room of telecommunications. Among them, the air conditioner will automatically turn on according to the temperature and humidity of the computer room. When the power supply fails, the battery will automatically supply power to the equipment of the base station. In addition, the computer room is also equipped with automatic fire extinguishing equipment and automatic drainage equipment. As for the door, it is either a Bluetooth remote control lock or a password lock.

Of course, although the telecom base station computer room is unattended, it does not mean that manual intervention is not needed. For example, the cleaning and maintenance of some equipment requires technicians to come to the door to complete it.

In addition to the base station computer room, the backbone computer room and IDC computer room of telecom operators are also unattended. Compared with the base station computer room, the backbone computer room is more automated. Take the power supply as an example. If there is a power failure in the computer room, besides the battery, there will be a generator to supply power, and the power supply switching is automatic without manual intervention.

From the point of view of whether someone is on duty, the telecom base station room of the operator can be divided into two situations:

First, simply understand the responsibilities of the telecom base station computer room!

Telecom base station core convergence point

Usually refers to the large-scale data convergence point within the operator, generally in cities. In other words, under normal circumstances, operators will not arrange personnel to be on duty at county-level gathering points, township-level gathering points and base station access points. Municipal base station intersection not only needs to be on duty 24 hours a day, but also generally adopts double-node backup construction to ensure network redundancy. In other words, at least two locations at the city level needed to be on duty the day before yesterday. If it is a large area and an important node, the number of people on duty will double and the staffing will double.

Most of the personnel on duty are internal employees of operators, and a few manufacturers supervise them (ZTE, Huawei, etc. ). The manufacturer's supervisor may not be at the scene and needs to respond immediately in case of major failure.

Telecommunication base station access point

As the terminal access point of the operator's communication network, millions of base stations do not have the conditions of being attended. It is impossible for operators to arrange a large number of personnel on duty, and there is no need to be on duty.

So, how to query the running status of terminal base station equipment?

The terminal base station can't be on duty at all, especially in remote areas, and it often takes a day to go back and forth.

Regarding whether the telecom base station can be unattended, you are welcome to leave a message to discuss and pay attention.

Hello, I can answer this question. At present, there is no one on duty in the computer room of telecom base station, and there is no need to arrange someone on duty.

Personally, I have also done the maintenance of the telecom room, and I know a lot about the telecom base station room. Just because the computer room of the telecom base station is unattended does not mean that it is left unattended. All data of equipment running in the computer room can be monitored.

Let's talk about the reasons why base stations are not on duty: First, the cost. China has a vast territory, and the number of base stations to be fully covered is huge. A few days ago, Mobile said at the 5G conference that there are 2.4 million mobile 4G base stations, and each base station needs 2.4 million people to arrange one person to be on duty. This is only one operator's. Although there are three companies under construction, some base stations are built separately. Because it is necessary to cover rural areas, some base stations are built on mountains, and some may have no roads, so ordinary people generally don't get on them. Even some simple base stations don't even have a computer room, so how can they live? Second, safety, arranging people on duty, is bound to live in the base station, which will bring hidden dangers.

How do you know about the base station when no one is on duty? When building a telecom base station, it is necessary to install not only the necessary power supply, transmission, transceiver equipment, but also monitoring equipment. The monitoring equipment has two functions: one is to monitor the communication power supply, storage battery, air conditioning or exhaust equipment, temperature, humidity, smoke, groundwater and other aspects in the telecom base station from time to time. Find out the problems such as power failure, fire and equipment failure in the computer room in time, so as to make countermeasures in time. Second, security monitoring, through access control, infrared or video, timely find thieves and saboteurs of base stations, protect the property of base stations and reduce losses. With this monitoring system, there is no need to arrange personnel to be on duty at the scene, even if the base station is far away, it can know everything about the base station in real time.

Although there is no need for someone to be on duty, regular inspections should be arranged. Including the inspection of base station equipment, computer room, iron tower, etc. And the cleanliness of the environment inside and outside the computer room. If hidden dangers of accidents are found, eliminate them in time. So as to ensure the safe operation of the base station.

The above is my opinion on whether the telecom base station computer room can be unattended. If there is anything wrong, please leave a message. Thanks for reading!

Yes, an important goal of the base station room should be unattended. After all, many base stations are in remote places.

Telecommunication base stations usually have a relatively complete monitoring system. Monitoring mainly includes various sensing devices and cameras, which can realize real-time remote control of the site. The other is a remote control system, which can collect and process feedback information, remotely start emergency equipment and control cameras. , and complete the control of remote equipment.
