iSolar power supply solution that covers
all scenarios, including poles, cabinets,
sites, and equipment rooms. This solution
can reduce the use of electricity from grids
and fossil fuels by diesel generators and
improve the energy mix that powers base
stations. On the power distribution front,
Huawei provides an industry-leading
high-density power solution. For each
site, just one cabinet—or even just one
blade—is needed, which supports the
long-term evolution of mobile networks.
To use power more efficiently, Huawei
has redesigned site form factors and now
offers highly integrated simplified site
solutions for use in all scenarios. These
solutions maximize the share of energy
used by communications equipment and
ensure electricity is fully used. Wireless
networks need to work in synergy with
