  • Represents a Step-forward for Renewable Energy Use in Pakistani Telecoms Industry


Huawei Technologies Co Ltd. ("Huawei"), a leader in providing next generation telecommunication solutions for operators around the world, has announced that Pakistani telecom operator, Warid Telecom, has deployed the country’s first solar powered BTS site using Huawei’s Solar Powered Macro Base Station (BTS). Huawei’s environmentally-friendly Solar Powered Macro BTS allows the operator to extend its network reach into remote areas of the country where there is limited access to the electricity grid.
 
With the continued growth of mobile phone subscribers in Pakistan, operators are expanding network coverage especially in small and medium sized cities, suburban areas, countryside, as well as in mountainous areas with poor transportation links. Many of these remote areas have limited access to the electricity grid, and operators have traditionally used 1+1 Diesel Generator Solutions to power their network sites.
 
Warid Telecom chose to use Huawei’s Solar Powered BTS due to several factors. The non-hybrid site is 100% powered on solar energy, thereby reducing carbon dioxide emissions and noise pollution, both of which is harmful to the local environment. The solution also reduces pressure on Pakistan’s overall energy supply which further benefits the environment.
 
Huawei is committed to reducing power consumption and environmental impact of its telecoms equipment through technology innovation. To date, Huawei has introduced renewable energy solutions for mobile communication sites, such as solar solutions, solar & wind hybrid solutions, solar & diesel hybrid solutions. These environmentally-friendly solutions significantly reduce the total cost of ownership in the product life circle, optimizing energy efficiency, and bringing obvious benefits to operators. Huawei’s renewable energy solutions provide network coverage to remote areas of the globe, providing enjoyable communications to more people.
 
Commenting on the subject, Mr. Ihab Ghattas, Assistant President, Middle East, Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. said, “Keeping in mind that The Global ICT industry is estimated to be responsible for approximately 2 per cent of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions and approximately 2-2.5 per cent of the global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions, Huawei offers different renewable energy solutions and can thereby help telecom operators utilize and optimize the abundant solar energy available to their advantage and reduce the CO2 and GHG emission. Huawei Solar Powered BTS will assist Telecom operators to extend the network coverage to almost anywhere, reduce the TCO and protect the environment at the same time, paving the way to greener communities.”
