Abstract :
Telecom companies meet a major challenge in finding appropriate power solutions in the rapid roll-out of mobile networks. Radio base stations (RBSs) require continuous power feeding, but are often placed in non-electrified areas where the only alternative is locally produced power, off the grid. This results in large power - and operational cost, low reliability and environmentally inferior solutions. Ericssonpsilas Remote Power solution represents a new innovative solution with possibility to halve the power cost, increasing the reliability and giving a long term sustainable solution.
