Presentation title: Nokia solutions for improving base stations energy efficiency
PREZETER:
Darko Giljević, dipl. Ing. Account Manager in Nokia Networks
Presentation abstract:
Reducing network greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and energy consumption has not typically been a high priority for most operators over the years. Faced with dramatic changes in their business environment driven by increasing competition, declining average revenue per user (ARPU) and exploding demand for data services, most operator investments have focused on network capacity and performance to improve the customer experience.
The power utilities are on the front line and have stated aims to reduce the amount of carbon emitted per unit of energy generated. For example, Helen Oy as one of the largest energy companies in Finland states: ”We aim to produce energy in a carbon-neutral way in 2050. Our intermediate target is to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 20% and to increase the share of renewable energy to 20% by 2020”.
Meanwhile, network equipment vendors are constantly introducing more energy efficient infrastructure. On average, each new base station generation reduces energy consumption by about 35 percent.
These two examples show that operators have an expanding range of options to reduce their network GHG emissions and energy consumption. Only by adopting the latest energy-saving and renewable energy technologies can ensure operators support to the emissions-reducing targets, that align with the Paris climate change agreement’s stated goal of limiting global warming to 2°C. Hence, this presentation will introduce solutions of Nokia dedicated to the improvement of the energy-efficiency of telecom operator’s network. The presentation will point out different concepts used for optimizing energy-efficiency of Nokia base stations and other network equipment.
