Nokia Siemens Networks Wins Deal for Energy Efficient Telecom Solutions

Nokia Siemens (News - Alert) Networks has won a new deal with China Mobile Group Beijing Ltd. to supply wireless network systems designed to lower operating costs as well as power consumption for the Chinese operator.

The network equipment maker said it signed a contract for the delivery of its Flexi GSM Base Stations to CMBJ.

The deal, Nokia (News - Alert) Siemens says, equips CMBJ with superior network hardware and software technology that uses less energy, lowers operating costs, and reduces CO2 emissions.

It seems Nokia Siemens has struck at a right time when government policy is increasingly focused on minimizing the environmental impact of strategic industries while maintaining opportunities for economic welfare and growth.

As the official telecommunications supplier at upcoming the Beijing Olympic Games, CMBJ approached Nokia to make sure that millions of visitors to Beijing connect to the rest of the world in the most energy efficient way.

Now the challenge that Nokia Siemens Networks (News - Alert) is facing is to create solutions that meet China’s growing need for converging data, voice, and video services, while balancing operational costs and the environment.

“Not only does this demonstrate how we can create an optimal way for customers like CMBJ to save costs by reducing power consumption, we can also cut CO2 emissions as a result in a way that lowers the impact on the environment,” said Zhang Zhiqiang, Head of Nokia Siemens Networks Greater China Region, in a statement.

The Flexi GSM Base Station being used by CMBJ is indeed the most energy efficient on the market. Other elements that support Nokia Siemens Networks Energy Efficient solutions include; minimizing the number of base station sites; minimizing the need for air conditioning to cool the sites and deploying software features that optimize the use of radio access for wireless communications.
