Pillar 04
500+ telecom sites equipped with lithium batteries (10 × 5 kW per site) — 200+ backup generators mobilized on an emergency basis for SOTELMA in 2024 — over 300 generators deployed historically. Energy is an invisible layer: it only gets noticed when it's missing.
Lithium storage at scale
+5 000batteries
Lithium batteries installed · 10 × 5 kW per site · cumulated across 500+ telecom sites
Ten 5 kW batteries per site. Multiplied across 500+ telecom sites in service: roughly 5,000 lithium batteries distributed across the entire territory. Storage has become invisible because it holds — and that is exactly what operators expect of us.
Backup generators · 20 to 1,000 kVA
20 – 1 000kVA
Range covered · from telecom backup to industrial generator · multi-brand
Supply, installation, commissioning, maintenance, spare parts. Multi-brand, multi-range, from 20 kVA telecom backup sets to 1,000 kVA industrial units. Over 300 generators deployed historically on the territory, 200+ added in 2024 to meet SOTELMA's demand.
2024 emergency · 200+ generators in weeks
When SOTELMA called to mobilize 200+ backup generators across the territory on an emergency basis, it was vertical integration that held — logistics, installation, commissioning, regional coordination — all run by a single organization. The capacity to absorb that volume under time pressure is built on twenty-seven years of being on the ground.
Equipment supply and institutional clients
40 + 15
Institutional sites · 40 AGETIC inverters · 15 gendarmerie intercoms
Beyond execution contracts, TME supplies equipment directly across its domains: complete solar kits (photovoltaic panels, lithium batteries, inverters), multi-brand generators 20 to 1,000 kVA with spare parts, professional Kenwood and Motorola radios. Beyond telecom operators, our installations have been deployed for institutional clients — 40 inverter sites for AGETIC, intercom systems in 15 police stations for the gendarmerie.
