Flexibility to use in off-grid areas, and potential to carry equipment higher than a cell tower attracts telcos to high altitude wind solution
Several telcos in India are now experimenting with multiple sources like solar, wind, gobar gas energy, and biofuel from molasses. Some equipment vendors are charting comprehensive programs to enable high volume deployment of wireless base stations, powered by alternative energy sources, to address mobile operators’ increasing demand for energy-autonomous and green wireless networking equipment. Canadian wind energy solution provider, Magenn Power, CEO, Pierre Rivard, tells about the company’s innovative product that is catching telcos’ eyes, as a new generation and clean solution to replace diesel generators, and for use of energy in remote locations.
