Base station energy consumption becomes the focus of future operators

The energy consumption of the communication industry is mainly communication equipment and communication products, so reducing the power consumption of communication equipment is the key.　　"Financial Network," trainee reporter Guo Lina September 13, IDC report predicts that future telecom operators will continue to increase environmental protection and energy-saving communications equipment, power systems, servers and storage, IDC room procurement efforts, and the System Integrator's solution contains environmental protection and energy saving part will also be included in the project evaluation system. China Mobile (00941.HK) signed a voluntary emission reduction agreement with the Ministry of Industry and Information technology in 2009, with a commitment to 2008 years of energy consumption as a benchmark to achieve a 20% per cent reduction in unit business consumption by 2012. China Telecom (00728.HK) also pledged to the outside world in 2010, by 2012, the unit information flow energy consumption will decrease by 30% compared with 2009.　　Visible operators of the green commitment is more practical. With the rapid development of China Telecom's mobile communication service in recent years, the total number of mobile communication base stations of the three telecom operators has exceeded 1 million; According to statistics, the average annual electricity consumption of each base station is about 15,000 degrees, of which the consumption of air-conditioning consumes about 45% of the total power consumption of the unit base station, and the annual base station air conditioner consumes more than 7 billion degrees,　　The equivalent of 4.3 billion kilograms of carbon dioxide emissions (this data from the "Communications World Weekly" August 9, 2010 article, "Energy saving and emission reduction into the year" base station is the focus). 2009, the three major operators of electricity consumption of nearly 29 billion degrees, an increase of about 26%, of which the mobile network power consumption accounted for the vast majority. 2009 Telecom operators added 3G base Station 300,000, making the base station equipment energy consumption accounted for the entire mobile communication network equipment energy consumption of 90%. On the one hand, the number of operators has a very large base station, on the other hand, with the number of 3G users continue to climb, the number of new 3G base station will continue to increase in the future, which makes the base station energy consumption in the future to become the focus of energy-saving efforts of operators (the data　　First Conference on energy conservation in the communications industry, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology disclosed the initial statistics of operators energy consumption. The energy consumption of mobile communication base station of operator mainly includes three aspects: the first is the equipment electricity, the second is the consumption of the power system, the third is the computer room environment electricity. In addition, IDC room, fixed network telephone power consumption is also very large.　　Thus, the communication industry's energy consumption is mainly communication equipment and communication products, so reducing the power consumption of communication equipment is the key. In the 2010, the competition of the three operators became fiercer, and the rapid development of broadband speed and 3G mobile Internet generated huge demand for efficient computing power and low-cost mass data storage, operators will integrate the IT support system platform through cloud computing, build enterprise internal cloud, improve resource utilization, Meet the rapid deployment of the business response, to achieve a variety of value-added services support. So the three major operators have accelerated the construction of large data centers. Energy saving in large data centersProblems have also become a challenge to be reckoned with. For communications equipment providers, IDC believes: should focus on the operator's base station of the main equipment energy saving. IDC suggests that manufacturers should actively develop energy-saving and environmental protection equipment for miniaturized computer rooms;　　In addition, in the provision of product parameters, should be based on the different working conditions of equipment related energy consumption requirements, to provide back-end supply, distribution equipment and related air-conditioning can be accurate configuration functions. For IT products vendors and solution vendors, IDC recommends that it vendors should be highly concerned about the energy-efficient market for operators ' large data centers.　　The manufacturer should from the IT equipment itself energy control, data center overall energy control, data center overall planning three levels to plan the Green Data Center related products and solutions, and IT solutions vendors can develop ideas to provide based on business systems such as BSS, OSS, NMS and other systems to run the overall energy consumption monitoring platform.
