19 November,2012,Shenzhen-ZTECorporation,a publicly listed global provider of telecommunications equipment,network solutions,and mobile devices,announced the launch of its Energy Saving Solution for operator LTEnetworks.According to test results,a single site employing this solution can save up to 40 percent power.

The global ICTindustry accounts for as much as 2.5 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions according to research firm Gartner.In a typicalwireless telecommunications network,about 90 percent of energy is consumed by base stations.ZTE’s Energy Saving Solution offers an array of innovative technologies to reduce power consumption in base stations.It includes the industry’s first integrated system for automatic/dynamic PA bias voltage control and intelligent OFDM signaling shutdown.

Test results show that ZTE’s Energy Saving Solution save as much as 32 percent energy on a single site.Annual reduction of as much as 5200 KwH can be achieved on a typical 1500 Wbase station.For a network comprising 1000 base stations,the annual reduction would amount to 5.2 million Kwh,reducing 4500 tons of carbon dioxide emission.When combined with the deployment of renewable energy sources such as solar energy,wind energy or bio-energy,energy savings of more than 50 per cent of the entire network can be achieved.

"ZTEwill continue to develop our technology to provide customers with energy-saving products and solutions,”said ZTEvice president,Wang Shouchen.“We are committed to minimizing environmentalimpact with green technology.”

ZTEwillincrease resources for LTEdevelopment and green technologies.The company has won 38 LTE commercialcontracts and is working with more than 100 operators in Europe,the Americas,Asia Pacific and the Middle East on trial LTEnetworks.
