The introduction of IOT technology at 3 800 cell sites (also known as base transceiver stations) delivered energy savings similar to 1 130 vehicles not being driven for a full year, after only two months since implementation.
This energy saving is but one benefit IOT delivers to create an intelligent cell site. It also transforms the asset management and predictive maintenance processes and several other aspects of site management.
The energy savings that IOT implementation can deliver will be a significant benefit in years ahead as companies continue to watch costs closely and develop and drive new strategies to limit or reduce environmental impact.
Market Watch estimates there are currently 12 million base stations worldwide and that 6.5 million 5G base stations are likely to be added by 2025.
These elements and more will be explored in a Webinar to be hosted by IoT.nxt this week. The company will elaborate on actual energy savings achieved at its biggest base station project rolled out in South Africa last month.
The SA project achieved these energy savings:
- 5.2 million kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent less;
- 21 million kilometres of vehicle travel (driving 525 times around the earth);
- 2.2 million litres of petrol being saved;
- 86 000 seedling trees being grown for 10 years;
- 667 million cellphone charge cycles; and
- 200 000 energy saving light bulbs being installed.
The Webinar will be presented on Thursday, 23 April 2020 by André Strauss, Chief Commercial Officer, and Brendan Stott, Head Solutions Architect: Solutions Design at IoT.nxt. Two sessions will be hosted – at 10am and 5pm – to accommodate people based in different parts of the world in different time zones. Attendance is free.
The discussion will include these topics:
- Energy metering, monitoring and management
- Asset management and predictive maintenance
- Alerts, reporting and centralised monitoring
- Environmental monitoring
- Generator optimisation
