Ericsson BTS in rural Myanmar uses under 1kW of power
- Wednesday | 29th August, 2018
The deployment uses Ericsson’s Psi rural coverage solution to keep total power consumption per site below one kilowatt (kW). The Psi solution provides a more reliable and cost-efficient alternative, Ericsson says. Ericsson says it has successfully deployed a base station in rural Myanmar that uses three frequency bands, supports 2G, 3G and 4G, and runs on less than 1 kilowatt of power. Ericsson says that by bringing down the number of radios on a network, the solution significantly reduces capex and total power consumption, which also reduces opex – both of which are essential features for rural and low-capacity deployments. In remote areas like Myanmar’s countryside, power grid supply often remains the biggest challenge in maintaining coverage.
