Opening new markets through cost-effective, alternative energy wireless base stations.
Approximately a billion people around the globe do not have access to telecommunications services, primarily due the lack of an electrical grid that can power network infrastructure.
In the past, establishing a wireless network in remote locations has been an expensive proposition, typically relying on diesel generator-powered stations that are costly to maintain and harmful to the environment. A cost-effective wireless base station that can run on efficient, renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power is clearly needed to open up these potential markets.
Leveraging its significant field experience and state-of-the-art research and technology, Alcatel-Lucent can provide an integrated, single-vendor alternative energy solution that helps reduce costs across the entire network while enabling telecom services to new markets.
