Why High-Power Network Equipment Needs Dedicated Backup Power
Short outages, voltage drops, and unstable grid conditions remain a persistent challenge for telecom operators, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), broadband network companies, fiber network operators, and system integrators. When a router, modem, or ONT loses power—even briefly—the device typically reboots, interrupting service for end users and creating support burdens for network operators. This challenge becomes more complex when the equipment in question is a high-power router or network gateway, which draws current well beyond what standard backup solutions are designed to handle.
Shanghai Mylion New Energy Co., Ltd., operating under the brand MYLION, has built its business around addressing this specific gap. Headquartered in Shanghai, China, with business coverage extending globally, the company positions itself as a global B2B provider of Mini UPS products, DC backup power solutions, and project support for telecom, ISP, broadband, and security applications. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all product, MYLION functions as a B2B backup power partner and OEM/ODM project partner for organizations that need dependable, verified power continuity for network-side infrastructure.
Understanding the Selection Challenge
One of the most common causes of application failure in DC backup deployments is improper UPS selection—specifically mismatches in voltage, current, peak load, or connector type. High-power routers and network gateways often require 12V DC output with 4A continuous current and 5A maximum, well above what a standard 2.5A Mini UPS can support. High-performance WiFi equipment and storage-integrated gateways fall squarely into this higher-load category, and selecting a device that cannot meet startup or peak current demands can undermine the very reliability the backup power is meant to provide.
MYLION's Approach to High-Power Backup Power
Matching Real Device Behavior
MYLION's differentiated advantage lies in how solutions are evaluated before deployment. Rather than relying on generic specifications, the company bases its recommendations on real device voltage, working current, peak or startup behavior, and the specific installation environment. This includes technical confirmation and connector or cable matching, which reduces the selection errors that commonly lead to application failure in the field. The stated value proposition is to support more reliable DC backup deployment while reducing avoidable selection risks—particularly relevant for professional project customers managing large-scale rollouts.
This capability is grounded in a track record of 13+ years of experience in lithium battery technology and 10+ years of experience in Mini UPS development, giving the company a technical foundation for addressing higher-load, higher-complexity backup scenarios rather than only entry-level use cases.
Product Solutions for High-Power Routers and Gateways
12V High-Power Series: MU65W
The MU65W is positioned specifically for high-load CPE or gateways that exceed standard 2.5A thresholds. It accepts a 12V DC input of up to 6A and delivers a 12V DC output of 4A continuous and 5A maximum, totaling 60W. With a battery energy rating of 56.16Wh, the MU65W is adapted for high-performance WiFi equipment and storage-integrated gateways—precisely the category of devices that standard Mini UPS units are not built to support.
12V High-Power Long-Runtime Series: MU35W / MU35L
For deployments that require both high output current and extended backup duration, the MU35W and MU35L combine a 12V DC output of 4A continuous and 5A maximum with a larger 75.6Wh battery energy capacity. This series is adapted for professional gateways that require high peak current alongside longer backup time, addressing scenarios where a brief power interruption could otherwise extend into a longer outage.
Emerging 24V/48V Telecom Backup Direction: MU248
Recognizing that not all high-power network equipment operates on 12V systems, MYLION has an MU248 model under development for higher-voltage wireless CPE and radio bridge equipment. This direction uses LiFePO4 battery chemistry, accepts a 48V/60V DC input, and provides independent 24V (3A) and 48V (1A) outputs within a 100W total system limit, supported by 102.4Wh of battery energy. As this remains a development and project-evaluation direction, it illustrates the company's broader focus on telecom-grade backup power beyond standard consumer-level equipment.
Platform Compatibility Across Network Infrastructure
MYLION's Mini UPS and DC backup portfolio is compatible with routers, ONTs, ONUs, modems, gateways, CPE devices, and security or CCTV equipment, subject to electrical verification for each specific model. This verification step reflects the company's stated methodology: compatibility is confirmed against actual device requirements rather than assumed from general product categories, which is particularly important for high-power gateways where current demands vary significantly between manufacturers and models.
From Evaluation to Deployment: MYLION's Service Model
For organizations evaluating backup power at scale, MYLION offers B2B project support, OEM/ODM services, and sample validation. The service scope includes requirement analysis, model matching, sample testing support, connector and cable matching, private labeling, and documentation coordination. This extends to managed pilot evaluation and mass-production preparation, allowing project customers to move from initial technical assessment through to production without having to independently verify every electrical parameter. Industry certifications relevant to lithium battery products—UN38.3 and MSDS, both model-specific—are addressed as part of this documentation coordination, along with adherence to lithium battery transport documentation requirements.
Industry Coverage and Global Reach
MYLION serves customers across telecom, ISP, broadband, fiber networking, and security industries. Its customer base includes telecom operators, Internet Service Providers, system integrators, distributors, brand owners, and OEM/ODM customers, reflecting a business model built around project-based B2B relationships rather than direct consumer sales. Pricing is handled through custom enterprise and project-based quotes, and after-sales support includes technical evaluation, model matching, and project-specific documentation coordination—continuing the same evaluation-first approach used during initial product selection.
A Practical Path Forward
For organizations deploying high-power routers and network gateways, the core challenge is rarely the absence of backup power options—it is the risk of selecting the wrong one. Mismatched voltage, insufficient current headroom, or incompatible connectors can undermine reliability even when a UPS is technically present. MYLION's approach, built on real device evaluation, connector-level verification, and a product range spanning from standard 12V systems to emerging 24V/48V and USB-C PD directions, is structured to address this selection risk directly.
