Abstract
This paper defines the approach and methodology for the deployment of prognostics in telecom power supplies. With 100% up-time being the ultimate target, prognostics can be effectively utilized to provoke early actions to avoid costly potential down-time events. An example will be provided using a common telecom power supply. Further analysis will be provided to demonstrate the return-on-investment that prognostics adoption can achieve
