Emerson Network Power, a provider of power solutions for telecom networks, has launched a series of products that it claimed can reduce energy consumption of mobile base stations by up to 60%. Its new platform uses a series of sequential strategies to shave off a significant bulk in energy consumption across the network, nearly 60% at wireless sites and 40% at the central office, reported Cellular-News.

Emerson’s approach consists of 12 strategies for reducing energy, which comprise a roadmap designed to maximize each strategy’s effectiveness. According to the firm, the key is eliminating inefficiencies along the energy path, triggering cascading benefits by avoiding associated losses upstream.

The strategies include important infrastructure steps, including cooling optimization and DC power management, said Emerson.

“Consumers and businesses around the world are relying more and more on high-speed and mobile communications platforms, significantly increasing energy consumption by the telecom industry,” said Manish Bhandari, VP global sales and marketing, Emerson Network Power’s Energy Systems business. “By looking at the network holistically, Energy Logic for Telecommunications maximizes the impact of individual strategies on existing energy efficiencies.”

The platform applies technologies and best practices that exhibit the most potential in the order in which they have the greatest impact, said the report.
