Understanding the Backup Power Challenge in Telecom and Broadband Networks
Network equipment such as routers, modems, and ONTs often reboot or lose service during short power outages, voltage drops, or unstable grid conditions. For telecom operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), broadband network companies, fiber network operators, and system integrators, this type of service interruption directly affects customer experience and network reliability. Compounding the problem, improper UPS selection regarding voltage, current, peak load, or connectors can lead to application failure even when backup power equipment is installed. This makes the evaluation and selection process as important as the hardware itself.
Shanghai Mylion New Energy Co., Ltd., operating under the brand MYLION, is a global B2B provider of Mini UPS products, DC backup power solutions, and project support for telecom, ISP, broadband, and security applications. Headquartered in Shanghai, China, with business coverage extending globally, the company positions itself as a B2B backup power partner and OEM/ODM project partner, rather than a general consumer electronics vendor. This distinction matters for professional buyers who require technical confirmation and connector/cable matching rather than off-the-shelf assumptions.
Why Voltage and Current Matching Matters More Than Product Specs Alone
A recurring theme in MYLION’s approach is that differentiated advantages come from evaluation of solutions based on real device voltage, working current, peak/startup behavior, and installation environment, combined with technical confirmation and connector/cable matching to reduce selection errors. This reflects a broader industry reality: a UPS that looks adequate on paper can still fail in the field if the connector type, polarity, or current ceiling does not match the target device.
MYLION’s value proposition centers on supporting more reliable DC backup deployment and reducing avoidable selection risks for professional project customers. This is particularly relevant for equipment such as routers, ONTs, ONUs, modems, gateways, CPE devices, and security/CCTV equipment, all of which the company lists as compatible platforms, subject to electrical verification.
MU248: A 24V/48V Direction for Higher-Voltage Telecom Equipment
Among MYLION’s product and service matrix, the MU248 is categorized under Development / Project-Evaluation Directions, specifically positioned as a 24V / 48V Telecom Backup Direction that is currently under development. Its stated purpose is to address higher-voltage wireless CPE and radio bridge equipment, a category of devices that typically falls outside the voltage range served by standard 12V Mini UPS products.
The key technical characteristics associated with the MU248 include:
- Battery Chemistry: LiFePO4
- Input: 48V / 60V DC
- Dual Output: Independent 24V (3A) and 48V (1A) outputs
- System Limit: 100W total power
- Battery Energy: 102.4Wh
Because the MU248 is identified as a development/project-evaluation direction rather than a shipping catalog item, its delivery context aligns with MYLION’s broader service model of project evaluation, requirement analysis, and model matching before mass-production preparation. For telecom and ISP customers working with 24V or 48V powered radio bridges, wireless CPE, or similar infrastructure, this direction represents a dedicated engineering path rather than a repurposed 12V product, which is an important distinction when planning technical validation.
Positioning MU248 Within a Broader 12V-to-48V Product Logic
The MU248 does not exist in isolation. MYLION’s full product and service matrix spans ten distinct product lines, organized around voltage class, output power, and runtime duration:
- The 12V Standard Series (MU26W, MU48W, MU68W) addresses entry-level to mainstream broadband backup, with output ranging from 2.5A continuous to a maximum 36W at 12V/3A.
- The 12V Long-Runtime Series (MU635W / MU635L) extends battery energy to 75.6Wh while maintaining standard 12V/2.5A output for long-duration outages in residential or remote areas.
- The 12V High-Power Series (MU65W) scales output to 4A continuous / 5A maximum (60W total) for high-performance WiFi equipment and storage-integrated gateways.
- The 12V High-Power Long-Runtime Series (MU35W / MU35L) combines 60W output capability with 75.6Wh battery energy for professional gateways requiring both high peak current and long backup time.
- The 12V + USB Multi-Output Series (MUJ46, MUJ435) adds simultaneous 5V USB-A and USB-C output within an 18W system limit, suited to small office / home office setups powering a router alongside a USB accessory.
- The AC-Input Dual Output Series (ML1202AC) uses LiFePO4 chemistry with 100–240V AC input and two independent 12V DC ports, simplifying ONT-plus-router installations without requiring a separate DC adapter.
- Alongside MU248, the MUC85 represents a parallel development direction, a USB-C PD Mini UPS designed for modern WiFi 6/7 devices requiring USB-C Power Delivery (65W standard / 100W max input, with a 92.16Wh battery).
Viewed together, this matrix illustrates a progression from standard 12V backup, through high-power and long-runtime variants, toward higher-voltage telecom-grade directions like the MU248. For project teams evaluating backup power across a mixed fleet of 12V CPE and 24V/48V radio equipment, this range allows requirements to be mapped against a consistent technical framework rather than sourcing from unrelated product families.
Technical and Compliance Foundations
MYLION’s capability system is built on 13+ years of experience in lithium battery technology and 10+ years of experience in Mini UPS development, with specialization in Mini DC UPS technical content and ISP/broadband backup power applications. The company’s technical portfolio covers 12V DC systems up to 60W, LiFePO4 chemistry integration, and emerging USB-C PD 100W input/65W output capabilities, which provides the underlying basis for directions such as the MU248 and MUC85.
On compliance, MYLION adheres to lithium battery transport documentation and model-specific requirements, including UN38.3 and MSDS certifications on a model-specific basis. For any 24V/48V or LiFePO4-based project such as MU248, this documentation layer is a necessary part of project planning, particularly for cross-border shipment and integration into regulated telecom infrastructure.
How MYLION Supports Project Evaluation
For customers evaluating a development-stage product like the MU248, MYLION’s service model is structured around B2B project support, OEM/ODM services, and sample validation. This includes requirement analysis, model matching, sample testing support, connector/cable matching, private labeling, and documentation coordination, leading toward managed pilot evaluation and mass-production preparation. Deployment itself is handled as device-side hardware installation for subscriber-side equipment, supported by technical evaluation, model matching, and project-specific documentation coordination as part of after-sales support.
Pricing for these engagements follows a custom enterprise and project-based quote approach, reflecting the fact that specifications such as the MU248’s 24V/48V dual-output configuration are typically tailored to a customer’s specific CPE or radio bridge requirements rather than sold as a fixed consumer SKU.
Conclusion
For telecom operators, ISPs, and system integrators assessing backup power for higher-voltage wireless CPE and radio bridge equipment, the MU248 direction from Shanghai Mylion New Energy Co., Ltd. illustrates how a 24V/48V DC input, LiFePO4 battery chemistry, and dual independent output design can be approached as a project-evaluation pathway. Positioned within MYLION’s broader portfolio of 12V, high-power, long-runtime, and USB-C PD solutions, the MU248 reflects a technical framework in which voltage, current, and installation environment are evaluated before deployment, consistent with the company’s stated approach of reducing avoidable selection risks for professional project customers.
