Case Study: Telenor achieves diesel-free rural power coverage with Ericsson

Removing power grids' dependency on diesel

The customer, Telenor Myanmar, faced the significant challenge of maintaining network coverage in remote areas. Their power grid's heavy dependency on diesel generators created a major obstacle for reliable and sustainable operations. Vendor Ericsson was engaged to address this energy challenge.

Ericsson implemented a solution by deploying the world’s first three-technology site supporting 2G, 3G, and LTE across three frequency bands. This was achieved using a highly efficient multi-standard mixed mode with one baseband and radio node. The impact was a site that runs on less than one kilowatt of power, completely removing Telenor's dependency on diesel energy for that location.
