What PowerX Technology does

PowerX Technology Ltd is a London-headquartered SaaS company founded in 2017 that has built a cloud-native AI platform purpose-built for optimizing distributed telecom tower infrastructure. The platform ingests real-time telemetry from power systems, batteries, solar arrays, diesel generators, grid connections, and environmental sensors at individual tower sites, then applies descriptive, predictive, and prescriptive analytics to autonomously optimize hybrid power configurations, detect anomalies, prioritize NOC alarms, and guide maintenance and CapEx decisions. Its modular architecture spans Energy Manager, Visual Intelligence, AI Maintenance, Intelligent Remote Control, Trouble Ticket Automation, and PowerX Connect, which can be deployed independently or as an integrated suite. Critically, the platform is hardware-agnostic, integrating with any RMS, RTU, or IoT system to avoid vendor lock-in and to standardize data from mixed legacy and modern equipment into a unified intelligence layer.

The company serves three primary customer segments: independent Tower Companies (TowerCos) as its core market, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), and Energy Service Companies (ESCOs). Named enterprise customers include PhilTower (Philippines, 1,350 sites), Vantage Towers (Australia, 220 rural sites), K-Towers (Pacific, 64+ ultra-remote sites in Papua New Guinea), American Tower (Africa), Megmar International, and other African and global TowerCos operating tens of thousands of sites in aggregate. PowerX distributes primarily through direct enterprise field sales with a consultative demo-led motion, supplemented by strategic channel partnerships with major TowerCos that embed the platform across their portfolios. Geographic reach spans 15+ countries across India, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific.

PowerX operates a subscription-based SaaS revenue model with annual billing tied to site counts, generating recurring revenue with land-and-expand potential as customers scale deployments across their portfolios. The company is privately held, ISO 27001 certified, and ICO registered. Leadership combines enterprise SaaS scaling expertise (CEO Andrew Schafer, ex-Verisae/Accruent and PwC/IBM) with telecom infrastructure insider knowledge, including board members who founded Crown Castle International and Helios Towers Africa, providing direct access to the global TowerCo executive ecosystem.
