ZTE Corporation today celebrated the deployment of the 1000th  base station for Nepal’s mobile operator Ncell. The stations are based on ZTE’s innovative green energy BTS solution and form part of the technology used to implement a Green Telecom know-how in Nepal.

To overcome the geographical and weather limitations, ZTE provided a tailor-made green solution for the project. In addition to the low power BTS base stations, heating apparatus were also incorporated into the overall solution to prevail over the sometimes freezing temperatures. The ZXSDR BS8908 multi-carrier outdoor micro base station was small in size, lightweight, low in power consumption, and made optimal use of solar panels which consume less solar power than needed for the ordinary panels used by most base stations, reducing construction costs at some areas of Nepal and resolving supply difficulties of remote sites.

According to Yang Jintao, CEO of ZTE Nepal, ZTE solution will not only solve the network coverage in remote areas for Ncell with its industry leading new generation green compact BTS, but also reduced the TCO due to the product’s cost-effectiveness.
