SOLAR POWER FOR BETTER RURAL CELLPHONE ACCESS
MALAWI - SOLAR POWER FOR BETTER RURAL CELLPHONE ACCESS
Siemens Communications has developed a solar-powered base station for cellular network operators operating in remote areas that lack electricity supplies. The first base station, in Chiringa, Malawi, has been supplied to Celtel, which operates in 13 African countries.
Siemens account manager Hannes Moolman says cellular base stations were usually powered from the electricity grid with a diesel-powered generator as a back-up in case of power cuts.
The diesel generators have high capital and operational overheads that can make it uneconomical to provide cellular coverage in remote regions.
"Mobile networks have to be highly reliable to allow operators to deliver an appropriate level of service to their customers," he says. The solar-powered base station does not rely on either mains power or a diesel generator for back-up, so each site will be significantly cheaper to operate and maintain.
The design is also environmentally friendly. Above all, the solar powered sites give operators the freedom to place sites wherever they want, rather than where the local infrastructure is available, says Moolman.

Beauty over Functions in Mobile Phones
You should never stop reminding technology-enthusiast managers of IT products how most people want products that look cool, although I hope that number of people that realizes the power and possibilities to Symbian (and for some aspects Pocket PCs) are immense.
Today a girl in my university showed her Sony Ericsson z610i (what an unpronounceable name) saying how ugly Nokia phones are. Being rather attached to the Nokia brand I was a bit shocked by her statement, yet while looking at the phone I was slowly admitting to myself the beauty of the phone I was touching.
Even touching the phone is a rather pleasant sensation, since its very sleek and smooth. Most importantly all narcissists can mirror their visage in the phone and check that everything is ok. Guys can choose black or blue and girls of course get it bright pink.
On top of that you can even read the time, network reception, messages, battery with an innovative, smart and cool to look at LED.
