Why Telecom and ISP Networks Need Reliable Backup Power
Short power outages, voltage drops, and unstable grid conditions remain a persistent challenge for telecom operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), and broadband network companies. Network equipment such as routers, modems, and ONTs can reboot or lose service entirely during these events, disrupting connectivity for end users and creating operational headaches for service providers. Compounding this issue, improper UPS selection—whether in voltage compatibility, current handling, peak load tolerance, or connector type—can lead to outright application failure, even when backup hardware is technically present.
This is the operational reality that Shanghai Mylion New Energy Co., Ltd., operating under the brand MYLION, was built to address. Headquartered in Shanghai, China, with business coverage extending globally, MYLION positions itself as a B2B provider of Mini UPS products, DC backup power solutions, and project support specifically tailored for telecom, ISP, broadband, and security applications.
A Technical Approach to Backup Power Selection
MYLION’s strategic positioning centers on solving a problem that is often underestimated: selection risk. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all backup unit, the company evaluates solutions based on real device voltage, working current, peak and startup behavior, and installation environment. This includes technical confirmation and connector/cable matching to reduce the kinds of selection errors that frequently undermine DC backup deployments. For professional project customers—system integrators, distributors, and OEM/ODM partners—this translates into more reliable backup deployment and fewer avoidable mismatches between equipment and power supply.
This approach is grounded in substantial sector experience. MYLION brings 13+ years of experience in lithium battery technology and 10+ years of experience in Mini UPS development, giving the company a depth of technical background that informs its product engineering and project consulting work alike.
Product Portfolio Built Around Real-World Load Profiles
MYLION’s product matrix spans ten distinct products organized into seven series, each addressing a different combination of voltage, current, runtime, and interface requirements.
The 12V Standard Series—comprising the MU26W, MU48W, and MU68W—targets entry-level to mainstream broadband backup. The MU26W, for example, supports 2.5A continuous / 3A maximum output with 18.72Wh of battery capacity, using DC5521 input and DC5525 output interfaces, making it suitable for telecom, ISP, and home networking use cases. The MU48W steps up to 29.6Wh capacity with a center-positive DC5525 output, while the MU68W extends battery capacity to 44.4Wh with maximum output of 36W (12V/3A) for professional ISP projects.
For deployments requiring extended backup duration, the 12V Long-Runtime Series (MU635W / MU635L) offers 75.6Wh of battery energy while maintaining the same 2.5A continuous / 3A maximum output, addressing long-duration power outages in residential or remote areas.
Equipment that exceeds standard 2.5A thresholds is served by the 12V High-Power Series, represented by the MU65W. This unit supports a 12V DC input of up to 6A and delivers 4A continuous / 5A maximum output (60W total), with 56.16Wh of battery energy—suited to high-performance WiFi equipment and storage-integrated gateways.
Combining both high current and extended runtime, the 12V High-Power Long-Runtime Series (MU35W / MU35L) supports 60W output alongside 75.6Wh of battery capacity, designed for professional gateways that require both high peak current and long backup time.
The 12V + USB Multi-Output Series addresses scenarios where multiple device types need simultaneous backup. The MUJ46 provides 12V DC output (1.5A continuous / 2A maximum) alongside dual 5V/3A USB-A and USB-C outputs, within an 18W system limit and 37.44Wh battery energy—appropriate for small office/home office (SOHO) setups. The MUJ435 extends this concept with 50.4Wh battery energy while retaining the same port configuration and 18W system limit.
For installations requiring AC input, the AC-Input Dual Output Series (ML1202AC) uses LiFePO4 battery chemistry with 100–240V AC input and dual 12V DC output ports (2A each, 24W total system limit), along with 25.6Wh of battery energy—designed for combined ONT and router installations without requiring an external DC adapter.
Looking Ahead: Development and Project-Evaluation Directions
MYLION’s technical roadmap includes two products currently in development or project-evaluation stages. The MUC85 is a USB-C PD Mini UPS designed for modern WiFi 6/7 devices requiring USB-C Power Delivery, with input up to 65W standard / 100W max, dual USB-C outputs (up to 20V/3.25A and up to 12V/2.5A respectively), and 92.16Wh battery energy. The MU248 targets 24V/48V telecom backup applications for higher-voltage wireless CPE and radio bridge equipment, using LiFePO4 chemistry with 48V/60V DC input, independent 24V (3A) and 48V (1A) outputs, a 100W total system limit, and 102.4Wh battery energy. These directions reflect the portfolio’s broader technical metrics, which already cover 12V DC systems up to 60W, LiFePO4 chemistry integration, and emerging USB-C PD 100W input/65W output capabilities.
Compliance and Service Model
On the compliance side, MYLION adheres to model-specific UN38.3 and MSDS certifications, along with lithium battery transport documentation requirements—necessary considerations for any organization sourcing backup power products for cross-border or large-scale deployment.
MYLION’s service capabilities extend beyond hardware supply. The company offers B2B project support, OEM/ODM services, and sample validation, with a service scope covering requirement analysis, model matching, sample testing support, connector/cable matching, private labeling, and documentation coordination. Delivery capability includes managed pilot evaluation and mass-production preparation, which supports customers moving from initial testing to larger deployment phases.
Platform compatibility spans routers, ONTs, ONUs, modems, gateways, CPE devices, and security/CCTV equipment, subject to electrical verification—underscoring the company’s emphasis on confirming real device requirements before finalizing a selection rather than assuming universal compatibility.
Serving a Global Customer Base
MYLION serves telecom operators, Internet Service Providers, broadband network companies, fiber network operators, and system integrators globally. Its customer base also includes distributors, brand owners, and OEM/ODM partners across telecom, ISP, broadband, fiber networking, and security industries. Pricing follows a custom enterprise and project-based quote structure, reflecting the project-specific nature of backup power selection. Deployment options focus on device-side hardware installation for subscriber-side equipment, supported by after-sales technical evaluation, model matching, and project-specific documentation coordination.
For organizations evaluating Mini UPS and DC backup power options for telecom, ISP, broadband, or security applications, MYLION’s combination of technical evaluation methodology, a structured product portfolio, and established industry experience offers a framework for approaching backup power selection with greater precision.
