Monitor Critical Backup Power with Remote Generator Systems
Reliable generator monitoring solutions for data centers to ensure 24/7 uptime, compliance, and remote operational insight.
Power systems must perform flawlessly during outages
Modern backup power systems must perform flawlessly during outages, especially in environments where uptime is non-negotiable. Remote Generator Monitoring Systems play a pivotal role by providing real-time oversight of generator health, performance, and readiness—whether onsite or thousands of miles away. These systems empower facilities teams to detect fuel issues, battery faults, engine anomalies, and electrical output problems before they escalate into failures.
With 24/7 connectivity and intelligent alerting, remote monitoring ensures compliance with operational standards and gives critical infrastructure the resiliency it demands. EnergyTechForDataCenters delivers advanced, scalable remote generator monitoring systems tailored to data centers, telecommunications hubs, healthcare facilities, and other mission-critical environments across North America.
As a B2B technology leader, EnergyTechForDataCenters supports smarter backup power management through robust solutions, ongoing product development, and expert guidance tailored to your facility’s needs.

Case Study
U.S. Colocation Data Center
A multi-tenant colocation center in Illinois required remote visibility into 12 backup generators spread across two campuses. EnergyTechForDataCenters deployed GAO Tek Inc. cellular-based generator monitoring gateways with centralized dashboard software. The system provided automatic alerts for load test failures and low fuel, helping the center achieve 100% SLA uptime and saving $40,000 annually in on-site maintenance costs.
U.S. Public Safety Facility
A regional 911 dispatch facility in Colorado needed to ensure its generator systems were always ready to operate during emergencies. Our team integrated generator telemetry into the client’s SCADA system, enabled remote control capabilities, and added backup satellite connectivity. The system passed a state-mandated blackout simulation without incident and received top scores on its compliance audit.
Canadian Telecom Tower Network
A Canadian telecom company required real-time generator monitoring for 60 rural tower sites across British Columbia, many inaccessible during winter. EnergyTechForDataCenters installed compact monitoring units from GAO RFID Inc. with LTE failover and predictive diagnostics. Fuel theft and low-battery incidents dropped by 75%, and uptime during weather events increased by 30%.
