(October 2011) Mobile phone technology is one of the biggest and fastest-growing innovations of the last two decades. Growing demand, low handset prices and extended network coverage have brought mobile phone services to practically everyone in Africa. Mobile operators are putting in thousands of new base stations, often in remote areas that have no electricity supply or other services. Our analysis shows that each base station requires approximately 40 kWh to power communications and cooling equipment. Currently all these remote and off-grid base stations are powered by diesel generators. The diesel requirements can be as much as 1,000 litres per week with the generators typically being replaced every six months. Aside from the enormous cost (direct and lost revenue) there is significant environmental impact.
The NEW ERA ENERGY Mobile Base Station system has been designed to fit the operational, financial and environmental needs of modern mobile operators and to be deployed in multiple remote locations. The system also delivers a host of additional benefits and enhancements over traditional diesel-powered systems.
