Beyond Borders
In many international markets, unreliable grid power is one of the biggest challenges for tower and network operators. This session explores power and backup strategies around the world, including diesel generators, hybrid systems, battery storage, wind and solar. Speakers will discuss the cost and environmental impact of energy use, energy-as-a-service models, and efforts to reduce emissions, fuel consumption and fuel theft. The panel will also consider how rising equipment loads from 5G and edge deployments affect site power planning. Attendees will learn how operators are improving reliability, lowering costs and meeting sustainability goals in challenging power environments.
