Abstract
Overview
This strategic report provides unique scenario based forecasts (incremental,
progressive and transformational) for green mobile base station deployments as
well as total on-grid and off-grid base station power consumption forecasts,
base station electricity costs and CO2 emissions, all split by eight key
regions for six years.
Drawing on a series of in-depth interviews with senior executives from network
operators and infrastructure vendors, the report focuses on means of improving
efficiency within the base station, analysing techniques such as reduced air
conditioning, network planning, automated meter readings, remote radio head
deployment and the use of feederless sites.
The various options for renewable energy including solar power, wind,
biodiesel, fuel cells and pico-hydro are discussed at length and the
possibilities for, and constraints of, each method are analysed.
Key questions:
- What commercial benefits will the introduction of environmentally
sustainable business practices bring to the mobile industry?
- What strategies should operators utilise to reduce energy wastage in the
network?
- To what extent will the widespread deployment of energy efficient base
stations reduce CO2 emissions from the mobile network?
- Which vendors and operators have thus far been most proactive in promoting
and implementing green policies?
- Which operators currently offer networks fuelled by renewable energy?
- How much will the deployment of off-grid base stations fuelled by
renewable energy reduce operator electricity costs?
- What are the opportunities and constraints for renewable energy
deployments?
Key Benefits:
- A unique source of combined research and analysis for the green mobile
market including technologies, market characteristics and forecasts.
- Practical analysis of the emerging opportunities for vendors and operators.
- Unique insights: indudes interviews of leading players with significant
experience of the green mobile market.
- Benefit from fresh thinking and intelligent market assessment.
