KARACHI :The mobile operator has signed a contract with Nokia Siemens Networks to build off-grid sites using solar power. Telenor was the first cellular operator in Pakistan to have a site dependent on solar technology in January 2008.Under the contract, Nokia Siemens Networks will provide its off-grid site solutions that use solar energy to power base station sites in rural and remote areas. On a turnkey basis, Nokia Siemens Networks will design the sites, taking into account local solar mapping, site landscape and other factors to maximise the use of an abundant, clean, and natural energy source.
Nokia Siemens Networks' Green Energy Control will help deliver a sustainable solution while optimising operating costs. The solar-powered sites will be implemented using Universal Services Fund (USF) that was awarded to Telenor Pakistan in 2009. USF-based contracts aim to provide access to mobile services for undeserved and unserved areas of Pakistan.-PR
