E-site is a site solution powered mainly by renewable energy sources (sun and wind) and controlled by an intelligent control system, enabling sharp reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and massive savings in operating expenses.
The AfricaCom Awards recognise and reward excellence in the African telecommunications market. Flexenclosure was this year nominated in three categories for its E-site solution: “Best Cost Efficiency Solution for Africa”, “Green Telecoms Award”, and “Best Solutions for Rural Services” (the latter together with Ericsson).
Flexenclosure won the AfricaCom Green Telecoms Awards for E-site as “an outstanding initiative or product which has improved telecommunication services in Africa with an environmentally-friendly approach since November 2009”. The other nominees were Inala, MTN South Africa and Orange France Telecom.
Massive savings in operating expenses and a reduction of CO2 emissions
E-site is a revolutionary and “green” off-grid base station site solution powered mainly by renewable energy sources (sun and wind) and controlled by an intelligent control system, enabling massive savings in operating expenses and maintenance visits. Results from operations at sites in East Africa show a more than 90% savings in fuel and a more than 80% savings in operating expenses, and the reduction of the need for maintenance visits to only one per year. Emissions of carbon dioxide was also reduced by over 90%.
E-site is ideal for off-grid base stations but can also be used to replace on-grid base stations. For more information see http://www.flexenclosure.com/Esite.aspx.
