German operator Deutsche Telekom and Swedish vendor Ericsson have carried out a trial in which they transformed a live radio site using a management solution to efficiently harness solar and wind energy while optimizing power supply and demand.
In a joint statement, the companies noted that the main aim of the partnership is to identify and validate energy efficiency and energy cost cutting solutions based on optimized energy consumption and control and increased usage of renewable energy sources.
The site, which is located in the Bavarian municipality of Dittenheim, has been partly-powered by energy from solar panels since the initiative began more than a year ago.
