KARACHI : Nokia and Siemens networks have taken a stop forward in the technological growth by introducing battery-cooling SiteStar. The step taken is to boost the drive of getting familiar with the Smart Site solutions. StarSite, to be commercially available by Q3 of 2009, is a cooling cabinet that can increase battery life by three times and reduce the electricity consumed for cooling batteries at a base station site by up to 95 percent.
The life of a battery is inversely proportional to the temperature under which it operates, and is reduced by 50% with a mere 10°C increase above the optimal temperature of 20°C. Service providers therefore, have to undertake significant capital and operating expenditure to ensure that the batteries remain cool, or to replace them at regular intervals.
