Overview

Thunder is an in-house product built for Telenor Pakistan to bring real-time and predictive intelligence to a nationwide tower estate — turning a reactive maintenance operation into a proactive one.

The challenge

What stood in the way

Scale and distribution

Managing a vast number of tower sites scattered across diverse geographical locations posed challenges in monitoring site health, performance, and security.

Lack of proactive measures

The absence of data analysis and predictive insights forced reactive rather than preventive maintenance approaches, hindering failure recognition and maintenance optimisation.

The solution

What we built

Real-time analytics

IoT gateway monitoring of power consumption, uptime, environmental conditions, fuel consumption, and quality parameters across the estate.

Predictive analytics

A machine-learning engine forecasting site outages, battery performance, fuel consumption, and grid outages before they happen.

Comprehensive monitoring

Proactive anomaly identification and root cause analysis, cutting the time it takes to resolve an incident.

Asset management and visualisation

Reporting and visualisation that turn raw telemetry into actionable insight for operational efficiency.

The outcome

What changed

Lower operating cost

Operational cost reduced by up to 60% through preventive maintenance and better resource allocation.

Measurably greener

Carbon emissions decreased by 1.6 kilotons per 100 tower sites, with diesel consumption down by 6 million litres annually.

A more reliable network

Improved network reliability, reduced maintenance expense, and better-informed decisions about power infrastructure.
