Islamabad, October 11, 2025 — CMPak has taken a major step forward in improving network reliability and safety by implementing lithium batteries on a large scale across its telecom infrastructure.
In collaboration with the Islamic University laboratory in Pakistan, CMPak recently conducted extensive safety tests on lithium batteries, reinforcing its commitment to technological advancement and operational safety.
With lithium batteries becoming increasingly vital in the telecommunications sector, their safety has become a key global concern for operators and tower service providers. Recognizing this, several countries have developed standards to ensure safe use, while the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) released its “White Paper on Lithium Batteries for Telecom Sites” in early 2025.
Operating in Pakistan’s challenging environments — marked by high temperatures, humidity, and unstable power supply — CMPak is at the forefront of research into site power supply systems and lithium battery safety. The company invited industry experts and suppliers to participate in on-site safety discussions, highlighting its open and collaborative approach.
CMPak’s testing procedures include advanced techniques to prevent issues such as the formation of “dendritic lithium,” which can puncture battery separators and cause overheating or thermal runaway. By utilizing vacuum and moisture-free testing equipment, CMPak and its local research partners are working to ensure superior safety standards.
Moving forward, CMPak aims to further enhance its quality requirements and advocate for the creation of national lithium battery standards — setting a new benchmark for network reliability and sustainable telecom operations in Pakistan.
