Ericsson and Star-Cell BS deployed in Cambodia with satellite programmes and nutrition of solar panels

Ericsson Company reported that first united the base station (BS) GSM standard with the system of satellite communications in a single mobile network infrastructure to food from solar panels. Thanks to this decision Cambodian mobile operator Star-Cell will expand its network and provide coverage in remote regions of the country. The solution, built on the basis of an autonomous base station with Ericsson made radiomodulem function of savings and electricity, would provide affordable telecommunications services to all residents of the country.

The possibility of signal transmission via satellite makes it easy to provide network coverage in remote regions where there is no possibility to use other channels to Intranet connection. This is the key to eliminating the digital barrier, as about 80% of people in Cambodia live in rural areas.

Standalone solution with GSM-made to the antenna radiomodulem has less impact on the environment than the standard base station, by reducing energy consumption by 50%. In addition, the station helps to reduce overall costs by reducing the costs of its services.

The operator Star-Cell Decision Ericsson chosen for the project to expand the network and the introduction of EDGE-applications in which it is to provide residents of rural health services to remote and distance education.
