Telecom Egypt In Partnership With Huawei To Build First Eco-friendly Tower Powered By Solar Energy: Egypt

They have used a Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) tower with wireless access in partnership with Huawei Technologies.

 According to the report, Telecom Egypt, through this partnership, will become the first operator to build this green tower in Egypt as well as Africa.

This will replace the high-emission steel option, which produces high carbon dioxide emissions. The tower measures 18 metres tall and features camouflage fencing made from environmentally friendly materials. It is supported by integrated wireless access solutions as well as a green solar power system.

Adel Hamed, Telecom Egypt’s CEO and Managing Director, said, "This mobile site was unique in Egypt." I highlighted the efforts of all parties involved in the project and their ability to implement the site efficiently and in a timely fashion, in accordance with international quality standards. Telecom Egypt uses the most up-to-date versions of operating software to save energy. For example, the ability to turn off signal amplifiers at certain frequencies during low-load hours This reduces energy consumption by 24%.

According to Jim Liu, CEO of Huawei Egypt, the company had given great attention to the development of information and communication technology infrastructure in Egypt.

That is the reason to partner with Telecom Egypt, which is the leader in Egypt’s telecommunications market. He said that Huawei is committed to using all of the new technologies that are out there to save energy and make the future more sustainable.

This will certainly result in zero carbon emissions. Recent studies have shown FRP poles emit 43% less carbon dioxide than steel and cut E2E consumption by almost half for manufacturing and transportation.

He clarified that the process relies on the integration of solar energy with main electricity networks, with a relative dependence on green energy, namely solar, since the solar panels will produce about 2 kilowatts.

This will result in a 20% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions.
