This year-end issue, we highlight the Mobile Switching Centre (MSC), a critical part of your network infrastructure. To meet the demands of converged data, dramatic traffic growth and cost pressures, today’s MSCs are dramatically becoming more like data centers. As the network turns to high density computing, hot spots begin to develop, which represents a cooling challenge among operators. Telecom equipment such as media servers, processing multi-megabit Internet speeds, develops a large amount of heat which requires focused cooling to ensure continued optimal operations. This issue of CommsConnect walks you through the three precision cooling approaches which can be applied to the MSC – room, row and rack.  Serving as a guide, our topic explores the three main cooling approaches and how each or a combination of these can specifically meet your business and infrastructure requirements. Further, we feature our extensive cooling portfolio aimed at addressing the unique infrastructure needs and business goals of our telecom operators. Happy reading and hope you have a Happy and Safe Holiday Season!
	While precision cooling provides the necessary parameters for the proper functioning of telecommunications equipment, many consider it as a major ‘energy spender’ in the MSC. According to cooling experts, support infrastructure, of which precision cooling is a major component, consumes between 25 to 35 percent of the energy in telecom infrastructure.  More With the many solutions available, getting the right cooling approach and technology for the job can be a daunting task.  Emerson Network Power’s holistic approach to solving customer’s critical cooling requirements considers two important variables – First, every customer has a unique set of infrastructure requirements and second, business maturity and goals continue to affect operational service level agreements.  More In the telecom space, traditional MSCs serve as a database for storing location information and the call details of a mobile terminal. It also connected to another database in which information about a registered subscriber is stored. As call traffic hits high peak, the demand for cooling telecommunications equipment found in MSCs also increases.  More
