Energy consumption pattern of mobile network
Mobile networks consume a significant amount of energy and contributes to more than 70% of the total energy used by telcos to provide uninterrupted network coverage to all its subscribers. For environmental and business reasons, we are constantly exploring and implementing energy-efficient initiatives across our network. These initiatives include:

  • Operational & design best practices:
    • Infrastructure sharing to reduce power consumption
    • Improving indoor-outdoor site ratio
    • Solar-powered aviation lights
  • Site remodelling to improve air-conditioning efficiency.
  • Continued consideration and openness to implement technology upgrades that leverage on more energy-efficient equipment.
Reducing energy consumption reduces cost
Our strategy to make our mobile network more energy-efficient includes the following tasks:

  • Swapping old equipment with new ones that need less energy to maintain
  • Reducing air-conditioning requirements in radio base stations that will not affect network performance
  • Exploring other measures that are more energy-efficient such as the conversion of more indoor sites to outdoor sites

In 2011, DiGi will undergo a major network modernisation project across our mobile communications network to achieve optimal energy efficiency. We will also be utilizing renewable energy in several new hybrid solar-powered base transmission sites. This was an outcome of a feasibility study with GSM Association whereby the findings helped to enhance the business case for these solar-powered sites.

As we review our supply chain, we will also be revising our Suppliers' Code of Principles to include more detailed requirements on the environment to include policies that govern energy efficiency, waste management etc. These efforts in the long run will contribute towards reducing our carbon footprint throughout our entire supply chain.
