Energy Solutions

1) Energy efficiency means also lower operating cost and therefore lower call costs.

• In mature markets, up to 10% of network OPEX is used on energy. In developing markets, it can be from approximately 15% up to even 30% of networks OPEX for energy.
• Fossil fuel prices remain volatile, adding to the need to reduce energy consumption.
• 86% of a mobile operator’s energy consumption occurs in the network infrastructure
   

2) Networks are expanding into areas where there is no electricity grid available, or the grid quality is not good enough.

• In developing economies almost a quarter of new cell sites will be “off the power grid” and, with the unpredictable cost of fuel as well as the location of these sites, there are significant financial and environmental benefits from looking at renewable power solutions in addition to the energy efficiency of our products or technology equipment.
   

3) Climate Change: energy efficiency is a global issue - CSPs are targeting to reduce their CO2 emissions to contribute to the global battle against climate change

Nokia Siemens Networks offers the industry’s most comprehensive approach to efficient and sustainable telecoms growth for Communications Service Providers (CSP) of new and legacy telecommunications networks. Nokia Siemens Networks Energy Solutions are designed to reduce network operating costs and lower the power consumption of telecoms networks by exploiting more efficient technology and renewable energy.

Nokia Siemens Networks addresses the energy OPEX, management and environmental issues in a three-step approach:

• Understand and propose: Consulting services to analyze the CSP’s current energy system and its efficiency, followed by specific proposals on how the efficiency can be improved as well as consulting on technical solutions.
• Deliver: the full set of services and products required for implementing the energy efficient networks while maintaining or improving service quality.
• Operate and maintain: Operations and Maintenance and Care services as well as proposals on how to continuously improve the energy efficiency of a network.

The flexibility of this three step approach results in a complete view of the operator’s network and an energy solution tailored to its specific needs.

Nokia Siemens Networks Energy Solutions consists of six elements that combine both products and services. They are:

Nokia Siemens Networks Energy Modernization
Nokia Siemens Networks Off-Grid Site Solution
Nokia Siemens Networks Bad-Grid Site Solution
Nokia Siemens Networks Energy Efficiency Consulting
Nokia Siemens Networks Green Energy Control
Nokia Siemens Networks Energy OPEX Management

With this unique approach and complete energy solutions offering, Nokia Siemens Networks focuses on making CSPs networks more energy efficient and environmentally sustainable without compromising on business benefits.
