Telecom Egypt (ETEL) in cooperation with China's Huawei Technologies, the global provider of information and communications technology (ICT) infrastructure and smart devices, will build the first environmentally friendly tower made of Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP), with wireless availability.
Once the installation of the tower has completed, it will become the first of its kind in Egypt that will serve as the optimum steel alternative, which causes high emissions of carbon dioxide.
The tower is about 18m high, with a special camouflage fence made of environmentally friendly materials, supported by integrated wireless access solutions and a green solar energy system, according to SATALITEPROME.COM
The new project is characterized by its high resistance in severe environmental conditions, such as corrosion due to exposure to chemicals and high temperatures.
Adel Hamed, Managing Director and CEO of Telecom Egypt, said: “The implementation of this type of mobile site in Egypt is unprecedented and has also underscored the efforts done by all those in charge of the project, and their capability of implementing the entire site in a timely manner and a systematic way, as per the best international quality standards that have to do with the green concept solutions.”
Further, he explained that Telecom Egypt’s green external sites also depend on modern technologies for wireless access devices, such as the technology of antennas integrated with signal amplifiers, which contribute to reducing the energy consumption of one site by about 40%, if compared to traditional sites.
