Green Base Stations: Renewable Energy Becomes a Reality in Cellular Infrastructure

Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: In-Stat
Published: September 2009
Product Code: R97-3397
Description
In just the last few years, the number of worldwide cellular base stations has grown from numbering in the hundred thousands to the many millions, and with this explosion in base station numbers has come with it the fear for all the greenhouse gases and pollution that powering a cellular network creates.

This report cover these two important aspects of green base stations, 1) powering base stations with solar and wind where reliable power doesn't exist and 2) reducing the energy demands of all cellular infrastructure. Five-year forecasts in this report include the number of on-grid base stations in developing regions, the number of off-grid/unreliable-grid base stations in these areas, and the number of solar, wind, and solar/wind combo base stations in these areas. Forecasts are broken out for three regions: Africa, South Asia, and Latin/South America & Caribbean.
