Ericsson's Base Transceiver Station (BTS) Power Savings feature can put parts of the radio resources not needed at off-peak traffic times into a sleep mode. Currently, it is possible to make 15-25 percent overall energy savings at the RBS level in this way, without any impact on service quality.
Sustainability and cost reductions went hand in hand when Bharti Airtel, India, implemented Ericsson's Base Transceiver Station Power Savings feature.
