Nokia Siemens Green Initiative
Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) has made its first move into greener networking gear with the announcement of an energy-efficient mobile equipment package.
It includes software that can reduce base station energy usage by setting some components to enter a power-saving mode at night, when traffic dramatically decreases.
NSN claims that the Energy Efficiency range could cut the energy consumption of a base-station site by up to 70 percent. Cutting air conditioning alone, raising the ambient temperature in the room where a base station is housed from 25˚C to 40˚C, can reduce energy consumption at that site by 30 percent.
"The Energy Efficiency solution makes good, green business sense. 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," said Ari Lehtoranta, head of the radio access business unit at Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN).
The energy-savings initiative is the first of others to come from the company, which said that it is committed to improving the environmental impact of telecommunications infrastructure.
Nokia Siemens' energy-efficient package also includes network-planning tools that can allow operators to use fewer base stations, which would also save on energy costs.
The company plans to reduce the energy consumption of its base stations from 800 watts for GSM today to 650W and from 500W for WCDMA to 300W by 2010.
Nokia and Siemens decided to combine their telecoms network equipment businesses last year to gain scale against rivals such as Ericsson and Huawei. Nokia and Siemens has also stated that their joint venture would run until 2013 at the earliest.
