The sun2com solar telecommunications solution is a turnkey clean energy system that helps to overcome the challenge of providing remote regions without electricity grid access, with reliable internet, mobile phone and data connections at a competitive price.
Taking into account the rising costs of diesel and the significant delivery costs, the energy supply for telecommunication stations – Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) – represents a real challenge for remote areas without grid connection, such as small islands. While service providers operate only with a few off-grid BTS stations, in comparison to their on-grid facilities, these sites denote a huge part of the total network OPEX (operational expenditures). The use of renewable energy to power the telecom stations permits to dramatically reduce the running costs and also to prevent the risk of power outages.
