Most of the energy in a typical telecommunication network is consumed by the wireless network's base station site. In response to this, Nokia Siemens Networks says that it is announcing offerings that dramatically improve the energy efficiency of its wireless networks, particularly the base stations and base station sites.
"The Energy Efficiency solution makes good green business sense," said Ari Lehtoranta, head of the Radio Access business unit at Nokia Siemens Networks. "By bringing state-of-the art products and software together with our Services portfolio for operators, we can reduce adverse environmental impact while also generating considerable cost savings for our operator customers."
The four main elements of the solution are:
- Minimizing the number of base station sites;
- Minimizing the need for air conditioning to cool the sites;
- Using the latest base station technology;
- Deploying software features that optimize the use of radio access for wireless communications.
Nokia Siemens Networks says that the energy consumption of a base station site can be reduced by up to 70 percent with its Energy Efficiency solution.
