In an attempt to improve the penetration and provide energy efficienct radio cell site solutions to telecom service providers, Nokia Siemens Networks and Acme Tele Power would be working on various ways to offer efficient operation, maintenance and energy management solutions to telecom operators. The two companies would also establish a joint development lab in India to examine future opportunities, specifically around remote energy monitoring solutions, a Nokia Siemens statement said on Wednesday.
A significant proportion of total cell site costs can be directly linked to energy especially in emerging markets. Energy savings go straight to the bottom line, with a consequently positive impact on operator financials. ?While we have made significant headway in the market with our energy efficiency solutions, we are continually exploring new ways to drive environmental sustainability and reduce costs for our customers. We are looking forward to working with ACME in emerging markets where the ability to provide cost effective rural connectivity is key,? said Ashish Chowdhary, head of managed services, Nokia Siemens Networks.
The companies are hoping to create customised solutions that improve networks? environmental performance and positively impact customers’ competitiveness and profitability. The collaboration is aimed at supporting operators’ market penetration strategies and providing opportunities to further improve the energy efficiency of their networks. ?We have a good understanding of emerging markets and have devised a wide range of products and solutions that effectively address the cost efficiency and energy management challenges that typically face operators in these markets,? said Manoj Upadhyay, managing director, ACME Tele Power Ltd.
