Nokia Siemens banks on energy savings to counter competition in Africa
Nokia Siemens Networks is banking on energy-efficient products and the desire by network operators to reduce operational expenditures to counter competition from Chinese manufacturers.
With regulatory pressure to lower costs and expand services beyond urban areas, operators in Africa have been forced to explore cheaper network management and optimization options and China has provided affordable alternatives to Western manufacturers.
Huawei and ZTE have strengthened their partnerships with telcos in many African countries, which has forced Nokia Siemens to move from traditional network equipment supply to offering solutions to problems like energy costs and power generation in remote areas.
According to a recent study by Nokia Siemens, 15 percent to 30 percent of operational expenditure (OPEX) in Africa is spent on energy, while in mature markets, only 10 percent of OPEX is allocated to energy costs. The declining average revenue per user for operators puts pressure on the companies to reduce costs.
To address rising energy costs, for example, Nokia Siemens launched its Flexi Multiradio base station, developed to work without external air conditioning, reducing energy consumption by 30 percent per site.
"The Flexi's radio capabilities and site flexibility also mean as many as 30 percent fewer base stations are needed in the network, compared to alternative technology; it can also reduce the carbon footprint by using renewable energy such as wind or solar power," said Diliani, head of Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN), Africa Region.
In off-grid areas, NSN is providing wind and solar energy solutions, including battery banks, battery cabinets, fuel cells and remote monitoring solutions.
NSN, however, also has been working under an additional burden since one of its parent companies, Siemens AG, was accused of corruption in Nigeria and was banned from World bank-funded projects. In general in Africa, corruption has been a major discussion point in big projects that involve huge government spending or donor funding.
In East Africa, Bharti Airtel signed a contract with NSN for network management and optimization across the region. This led NSN to open a larger office and launch a larger product portfolio that is expected to win more operators.

Ericsson to build LTE network for Rogers, Canada
As part of this multi-year agreement, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) expands its key supplier role with Rogers by delivering an end-to-end LTE network. Ericsson will deploy all 4G/LTE radio sites with its new multi-standard radio base station, RBS 6000, and upgrade and expand Rogers' existing packet core network into an Evolved Packet Core (EPC) network, supporting the new LTE network.
"This deal reaffirms Ericsson's leadership in LTE and further extends our long-standing relationship with Rogers. Ericsson's LTE/EPC network will enable Rogers to deliver unique experiences for people and businesses thereby shaping the networked society," said Angel Ruiz, head of Ericsson North America.
"Ericsson has been a strategic, valued partner of ours for more than 25 years and we look forward to working with them to bring this next generation technology to Canadians," said Bob Berner, Executive Vice President Network and Chief Technology Officer of Rogers Communications Inc.
To date, Ericsson has signed commercial LTE contracts with six of seven of the top ranked operators by 2010 global revenue. In North America, the world's fastest growing LTE market, we now have four LTE contracts with leading operators in the region.
LTE, the next generation of mobile communication technology, enables the fast transfer of huge amounts of data in an efficient and cost-effective way, optimizing the use of the frequency spectrum. With increased speed and decreased latency, consumers can enjoy a wide range of applications (real-time web, online gaming, social media collaboration and video conferencing) effortlessly and while on the move. LTE will meet the demands of new and enhanced mobile internet applications of the future.
Ericsson has been driving open standards and has had the highest impact on the released LTE specifications. Ericsson expects to hold 25 percent of all essential patents for LTE, making it the largest patent holder in the industry.
