Let us simplify your deployments!

Looking to deploy a large quantity of TP-Link routers? Did you know we can hardcode your devices before they are shipped? Ideal for ISPs looking to simplify their deployments, hardcoding can offer you a range of benefits including:
Protection against your devices being factory reset by end users; With hardcoding, the ADSL and internal credentials are permanently burnt to the device.
Save yourself hours of support time and maintain customer satisfaction levels by minimising the risk of router settings being lost.
Enjoy a seamless ordering process with items shipped direct to site, ready to plug & play.
Speak with a member of our expert technical team today to discuss your router hardcoding requirements.

Eco-nomically Powered: Fidelity Energy

We’ve been thinking a lot about the challenges we’re all facing with rising operating costs and the pressure to be more eco-friendly. It’s a tough balance, right? There is now an easier way to achieve this with Fidelity Energy.

Did you know there’s a straightforward way to open up green initiatives to your customers? With Fidelity Energy, you can tap into green energy tariffs that come from sources like;

Hydro

Tidal

Solar

Wind

Biomass

Geothermal

Not only does this mean lower emissions for your customers, and maybe even your own business! It also shows your commitment to a healthier planet.

Why Go Green?

Zero Emissions: Businesses can report zero emissions for Scope 2 purchased electricity. Helping your customers to reach their sustainability goals.

Shrink That Carbon Footprint: Renewable energy tariffs reduce an organisation’s overall carbon footprint.

Show What You Stand For: Demonstrate your commitment to renewable and sustainable goals for you and your customers.

Boost Your Brand: Being known for doing good is great for business. It’s a win-win!

But Wait, There’s More Good Stuff

Working alongside ProVu & Fidelity Energy also gives you access to other green initiatives, including:

EV Charging Options – With the world moving towards electric vehicles, why not help your customers get ahead with their own charging points? Plus, there are grants to help with the costs.
Commercial Solar Panels – Whether buying outright or leasing, solar panels are a smart move for energy independence.
Export Tariffs – Generate revenue for any excess electricity produced by solar panels by selling it to the National Grid!
Voltage Optimisation – A little tweak can mean big savings on energy costs. Guarantee savings even before a tariff is due for renewal and increase the longevity of your customer’s appliances with Voltage Optimisation.
Project Management – Fidelity Energy can manage the whole project, from start to finish, for you.

Want to spark a conversation? Come see us!

The Mylion Mini UPS; It’s small but mighty, ensuring businesses keep humming along. Whether you’re looking for a solution to comply with OFCOM’s requirements, or want to help your customers protect their business continuity for remote workers, we know end-users won’t welcome a big intrusive UPS device. Measuring just 112mm long (4.5 inches), we wanted to share a round up of what this small but mighty device delivered during our testing.

Explore the MU68W Mini UPS

What we found in our testing?

We’ve put the Mylion Mini UPS through rigorous tests to make sure it performs under various conditions as well as the most likely scenarios your customers might use it for:

Broad Connectivity:

We connected to a Technicolor DGA0122 router, with a laptop streaming video as well as three users accessing WiFi from desktop PCs, the UPS sustained over 7 hours of continuous use. This far exceeds the basic requirement, showcasing its robust capacity.

Extended Communication:

In another test involving a router and a 5V IP phone left on a call, the UPS powered both devices for over 5 hours. This duration is consistent for similar devices, indicating reliability in maintaining essential communications.

Suitable for home use:

The Mylion Mini UPS is also perfect for home use. In our testing, we connected a Mini UPS to a BT home router and it was able to run for up to 3 hours of heavy-use streaming TV and video games as well as a home office. Proving that the Mini UPS is robust enough to keep up with modern day-to-day use.
These findings illustrate the Mylion Mini UPS’s capability to provide much more than the OFCOM-required 1 hour of backup power, ensuring businesses stay operational for extended periods during power disruptions and maintaining that critical back-up for vulnerable users.

While we have tested the Mini UPS to exceed 4 hours we recommend that you expect up to 4 hours from the device. Depending on your consumption the power output could vary.

Explore the MU68W Mini UPS
For just £56.85 you can ease the transition to IP for your customers, and adhere to the OFCOM requirements. Supplied with an adapter kit, we’ve made it simple to connect any 12v or 5v device you want offer back-up power to.

Download our free White-label UPS video

We have put together a short explainer video to help you better market the Mylion mini UPS to your customers. Download the white-label version from our marketing section on ProSys or get in touch and we are happy to add your own logo into the video.
