Ericsson Introduces PoC Solar-powered Cell Site
Ericsson is making strides in sustainability by designing a proof-of-concept solar-powered 5G site integrated with Lithium-ion batteries that last up to 24 hours.
This 5G site by Ericsson has the potential to be fully operated by solar energy, complemented by integrated Lithium-ion batteries, for up to a 24-hour period. Operators can now utilize untapped assets, creating new energy cost savings opportunities.
Ericsson is making strides in sustainability by designing a proof-of-concept solar-powered 5G site integrated with Lithium-ion batteries that last up to 24 hours. The site continuously optimizes for the best energy source with a unified intelligent management system and power management, including solar power and Lithium-ion batteries,
Ericsson created a comprehensive solution to optimize RAN energy consumption while orchestrating the use of multiple energy sources at the site including grid, renewables and lithium-ion batteries. After introducing our Energy-Smart 5G Site in Dittenheim, Germany, we unveiled the first US deployment in July 2023 at Ericsson's Plano, Texas campus.
Ericsson is thrilled to announce the launch of a smart-sustainable 5G site, which serves as a tangible proof point of Ericsson's leading position in building sustainable mobile networks. Senior Vice President and Head of Networks, Ericsson North America, Kevin Zvokel, made the announcement.
