Wireless base stations, or cell towers, experience many power outages in which existing back-up batteries are inadequate to prevent a power failure; therefore, unacceptable power failure occur well before the end of the power outages. Base transceiver stations (BTS) are often situated in locations difficult to access and require reliable back up power in case of power outages in order to assure the availability of public communication systems. Energy demand of low power BTS can vary from 2.5kw – 5kw. Figure below shows the typical cell tower configuration.
Wireless carriers need a solution to keep their cell towers operating in the event of an extended power outage.
Relying on battery banks only is not practical (need too many of them to cover long outages, takes space, requires more maintenance, etc.).
Current solutions include diesel generators, which come with many shortcomings:
The Model DMFC 250 is a liquid fuel cell that operates as a battery charger for a wide variety of stationary applications, including wireless base stations. Refueling infrastructure takes little space and it is inexpensive and safe because the fuel is methanol, a common industrial liquid, which reduces CO2 emissions by up to 60 percent. Depending on customer power requirements, the DMFC 250 rack can be configured with one or two 250 Watt net power modules, and multiple racks can be installed for applications with even higher power requirements, hence replacing the costly/unreliable diesel gensets used today in Telecom Towers.

Relying on battery banks only is not practical (as batteries needs to be recharged often with reliable power source)
Relying on solar is not practical as solar panels have limited availability during day time only.
Relying on wind turbines is not practical as the power generate for wind turbines is highly depended on the availability of wind.
