Don’t Get Left in The Dark

We’re on a mission to ensure you’re never left in the dark, literally. Did you know that we thoroughly test each and every product we supply? It’s a win-win for everyone, we’re better equipped to provide the support you need, and you can rest assured any device you purchase from us has our seal of approval!

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.

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.

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.

Levelling UP(s) Your Business Continuity

In the electrifying world of uninterrupted power supplies, power continuity is as crucial as your business continuity. That’s why we’re excited to introduce the Mylion Mini UPS. Compact in size yet monumental in impact, this device is your frontline defence against the unpredictable whims of power supply.

Why Mylion Mini UPS?

Adhering to OFCOM’s guidelines may mean you need to add UPS devices to your offering to protect vulnerable users, but they can help with so much more! The Mylion Mini UPS does more than just keep your 12v & 5v devices humming happily during those unexpected blackouts; it ensures the gold standard of preparedness. Recognising the diverse ecosystem of devices within your customers’ businesses, we’ve equipped the Mylion Mini UPS with an adapter kit that’s as versatile as it is essential—think of it as the Swiss Army knife for your power needs.

Explore the MU68W Mini UPS

Power Expectations Set Right

When it comes to performance, the Mylion Mini UPS doesn’t just talk the talk; it walks the walk. Our exhaustive testing – which is as serious as our commitment to quality – shows it can power a router that has 4 office PCs wirelessly connected to it as well as a laptop physically connected, streaming video all day for over 8 hours on a single charge. While we boast an 8-hour lifeline, we recommend expecting a solid 4 hours. This realistic expectation ensures your business can plan effectively, without being caught off guard by each device’s power requirements.

Retail Resilience:

Imagine a card terminal and router backed by the Mylion Mini UPS. Even in a power outage, your customer’s store remains operational, processing card payments without a hitch. This resilience means they can continue serving customers and securing sales, turning potential downtime into a showcase of business reliability.

Communication Continuity:

For businesses reliant on VoIP systems, a power cut could mean missed opportunities or disrupted service. Connecting a VoIP phone and router to a Mylion Mini UPS ensures that communication lines stay open. This uninterrupted connection keeps a business responsive and operational, maintaining that vital link to customers and the team.

Security Assurance:

An operational security system is non-negotiable, especially after hours. A Mylion Mini UPS connected to a router and alarm system ensures that, even in the event of a power outage, premises remain secure. Rest easy knowing your alarm system is vigilant, thanks to the reliable power backup provided by the Mini UPS.

Secure home working:

For a team of remote workers, uninterrupted access to cloud-based services is essential for maintaining productivity and safeguarding critical data. The Mylion Mini UPS plays a pivotal role, ensuring that, even during a power outage, the workflow remains seamless and data integrity is preserved.

Why Wait for the Next Outage?

This isn’t just a UPS. It’s an assurance that a business can continue to operate smoothly, regardless of external power fluctuations. It’s an investment in peace of mind, productivity, and compliance with critical regulatory standards.

Contact our team today to discuss your requirements. We have UPS options to suit businesses of all shapes and sizes. Call us on 01484 840048 or email contact@provu.co.uk.
