During the 6th Annual Telecom Energy Efficiency Forum in Istanbul, HMS Networks
AB (HMS) and Nokia presented the new Site Energy Management System (SEMS) based
on HMS Netbiter technology.
Due to increasing energy costs directly reflecting on the operational costs
there is a need for every operator to implement effective energy strategies for
future profitability and growth. To achieve profit improvements and emission
reductions, operators need to decrease energy consumption, use renewable energy,
and take control of the equipment in the field with smart remote management
solutions.
"The Site Energy Management System SEMS allows operators to remotely access
real-time energy data in their networks. This improves the efficiency of the
sites and enables better planning, so I wasn't surprised to see tremendous
interest in the SEMS at the event in Istanbul," says Rohit Kumar, head of New
Portfolio Solutions for Global Services, Networks, Nokia. "We are already
deploying the system for some of our customers in Africa and Europe helping them
to optimize their energy consumption."
Based on the HMS Netbiter technology, the SEMS solution enables full control of
all energy sources at every base station site, thus allowing operators to
achieve profit improvements and lower carbon footprint. By gathering energy data
from the field, operators have full control of the energy efficiency of each
site, and can identify waste and proactively execute field services.
"Operators require solutions for cost-effective network operations, including
means to minimize CAPEX and OPEX through low energy consumption. Together with
Nokia we have developed an end-to-end smart remote management system, using our
Netbiter technology, that can control all energy sources at a base station site
providing a robust solution to answer the operator needs," says Bartek
Stelmasiak Candell, key account manager at HMS.
