BOSTON, Jul 08, 2008 (ASCRIBE NEWS via COMTEX) -- ERICY | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Ericsson announced that its solar-powered site solution has been selected by Digicel Group, a mobile telecommunications operator in the Caribbean, to provide energy-lean network coverage in remote areas of Suriname.

The solution is based on Ericsson's main remote GSM base station RBS 2111, which is one in a series of energy-optimized, base stations from Ericsson. It has a smaller environmental footprint than a standard base station, consuming up to 50 percent less energy, the company said.

As part of the agreement, Ericsson said it will also supply MINI-LINK TN all-outdoor transmission, solar panels and battery back-up solutions. Ericsson will also be responsible for network deployment and systems integration.

Ericsson said its solar radio-site solution allows autonomous sites to be deployed in remote areas that have limited access to the electricity grid.

Mario Assaad, CTO for Digicel Group, said, "Ericsson's energy-friendly solution will help lower operational expenditure and reduce environmental impact. By extending coverage in Suriname, we open the door to new revenue streams, giving subscribers access to services on the move, as well as providing communications to people in remote areas for the first time."

Sergio Quiroga da Cunha, President of Ericsson in northern Latin America, said, "This deal marks an important milestone and we are proud to implement the first solar solution in South America. Energy efficiency is a key factor for network optimization: it helps lower total cost of ownership and enables operators to bring affordable communications to subscribers."
