Lifecell operator introduced Energy-efficient solutions in the Network

The mobile operator lifecell completed the second phase of testing to improve the energy efficiency of its network. At the end of 2015, the project has updated the software for energy conservation for 109 base stations in Kyiv, Ternopil and Mariupol.

For the second year in a row lifecell operator is implementing a project to introduce energy-saving solutions in its network. The initiative is designed to reduce power consumption of the radio network and in particular, BTS-transmitters using the largest share of electricity. Last year, technicians operator conducted a series of test software for energy efficiency by 88 base stations in Kyiv and 21 stations in Ternopil and Mariupol. Implemented measures resulted in savings of between 8% and 10% of electricity at each site.

Today, the largest part of all operating costs associated with the operation of the plant is the cost of energy supply. Therefore, even a slight reduction in power consumption saves additional resources of the company and at the same time reduces the impact of the company on the environment. Thus, by increasing the energy efficiency of the network in the past year, an average of 9.05 kg of carbon dioxide emissions decreased equipment upgraded base stations in three regions of Ukraine.

"Efficient use of resources is an important indicator of sustainable business development. Such a move - is not only a demand of the time but also an integral part of the socially responsible behavior of companies towards society and the environment. We will continue to actively develop the energy efficiency of its mobile network, increasing the company's contribution to the energy efficiency of the country and the industry ", - commented on Mahmut Sheriff, Director of the mobile network operator lifecell.

As part of the network of energy efficiency project, LifeCell operator combines a number of ways: by updating equipment, the use of dynamic energy-saving systems to install special software. In 2015, simultaneously with the start of the deployment of third-generation networks began installation of special 3G modules with a high level of energy efficiency.

Testing of base stations with updated software and is scheduled for 2016. The future plans lifecell operator - to deploy energy-saving solutions for the entire network.
