Miodrag Radojevic, in charge of business with the Telekom Serbija group at Nokia Siemens, said: Energy efficient solutions are vital for operators as energy costs are the third most significant cost category for an average mobile operator. Of that energy almost 90% is used in the base stations, so an efficient solution isn’t just better for the environment, but better for business.
