Implementation of green technology in cellular communications by Telkomsel

Indonesian mobile company, Telkomsel aware that the sustainability of the withdrawal in harmony with nature preservation. children's work through the country, Green Technology innovation can never stop created. Until now, no less than 2200 BTS (base transceiver stations) are based on environmentally friendly scattered in various parts of the territory of Indonesia.

Ministry of Energy and mineral resources has recently mentioned the energy reserves of fossil / fossil fuels was only able to survive for the next 20 years. Wisdom in the use of energy / fossil fuels have been proposed and implemented for the sake of absolute for human survival. Therefore, Telkomsel as one of the largest telecommunication companies in Indonesia have been aware from the beginning to operate in creating technology-based mobile telecommunications technology green (environmentally friendly). In a sense not only build a network infrastructure that uses fossil fuels but rather use alternative energy.

Benefits of solar energy and water to smooth communication

There are several choices of energy sources in the operation of the BTS. First is the use of solar energy resources to ensure availability of power supply to the BTS. The existence of this solar energy from the cost side is relatively so cheap to meet the needs of about 0115 Megawatt electric power. No less than 164 BTS-type solar cell's Telkomsel has spread across the territory of Indonesia.

In addition to utilizing solar energy as an energy source for power supply base stations, Telkomsel considers it necessary to utilize the potential of river water flow in all regions of Indonesia. Through mikrohido technology (utilization of river water flow as a source of electrical energy) to make BTS Telkomsel to build this type of micro hydro Indonesian people for smooth communication. This is supported also by the need for the Indonesian people who live in rural areas.

Solar cell and mikrohido technology has been applied, in addition to existing renewable energy sources by making use of materials Baar hydrogen (or fuel cell technology). The advantage of this energy source, among others, no noise, no moving parts and produces no pollution due to wastes generated are water molecules.
