Removing power grids' dependency on diesel

Removing dependency on diesel energy

In partnership with Telenor, Myanmar

Case

Challenge

Power grid supply often remains the biggest challenge in maintaining coverage in remote areas, leading to a heavy dependence on diesel generators.

Rural coverage solution

Solution

Ericsson successfully deployed the world’s first three-technology site (2G, 3G and LTE) in three bands (900, 1800, 2100 MHz). We also deployed a first-ever PSI multi-standard mixed mode, with one baseband and radio node that runs WCDMA and LTE simultaneously.

Impact

This solution runs on less than one kilowatt of power removing the dependency on diesel energy.
