Case Study
TURKCELL’s Green Initiative SYNERGY has proven to be highly effective in a real-world setting. TURKCELL, a leading Turkish mobile phone operator, provides a striking case in point. By adopting SYNERGY, TURKCELL achieved a 20% reduction in battery investment cost, a 5% decrease in energy-related availability losses, and a 0.5% reduction in electricity consumption. Furthermore, by keeping rectifiers in the optimum efficiency zone, the lifespan of TURKCELL’s batteries increased by 5%, and the return on investment was achieved in less than a year.
TURKCELL’s experience also showcases the substantial human resource savings possible with SYNERGY. With SYNERGY’s remote battery test functionality, the company avoided the need for maintenance engineers to conduct manual tests across thousands of sites – a process that, considering TURKCELL’s 25,000 locations, would have taken up to 250,000 man-hours annually.
SYNERGY’s Green Sustainability Contribution A key aspect of SYNERGY’s value proposition is its contribution to green sustainability. By ensuring optimal energy use and reducing overall consumption, SYNERGY helps Communication Service Providers (CSPs) and Telco Tower companies shrink their carbon footprints. With lower energy consumption comes reduced carbon emissions, contributing to global sustainability goals and the fight against climate change. SYNERGY’s smart management and automated functions result in significant CAPEX and OPEX savings. For instance, consider the process of conducting battery tests, an essential maintenance activity for a sustainable battery lifecycle. Traditionally, a maintenance engineer must visit each site and conduct the test manually. Considering 25,000 locations, this could take up to 250,000 man-hours per year. However, with SYNERGY’s remote battery test functionality, these tests can be performed remotely, saving a massive amount of operational man-hours annually.
Moreover, SYNERGY’s analytics and reporting features provide insights and decision support items, such as capacity usage graphs, power consumption reports, battery test results, and site temperature history, among other valuable data points. This information helps identify areas for CAPEX optimization, enhance site energy efficiency, and prevent excessive billing.
In addition to the significant energy and operational cost savings, SYNERGY also has a profound impact on reducing the need for on-site visits. The platform’s remote management capabilities have resulted in a remarkable 46% reduction in site visits, saving significant manpower. This reduction not only leads to considerable fuel savings but also contributes to decreased carbon emissions from field engineers’ vehicles. By limiting the need for physical site inspections, SYNERGY promotes a more sustainable approach to network energy infrastructure management.
The Role of SYNERGY in the Future of Telecommunication SYNERGY’s intelligent management and automated features represent a significant advancement for CSPs and Telco Tower companies, transforming the landscape of network energy infrastructure management. By reducing energy consumption and operational costs, SYNERGY not only makes communication services more efficient but also environmentally friendly.
In conclusion, SYNERGY plays a crucial role in addressing the operational challenges faced by telecom companies, optimizing their energy consumption, and contributing significantly towards environmental sustainability. As we move towards a more sustainable future, solutions like SYNERGY are instrumental in shaping our global energy landscape, proving that it’s possible to make communication services efficient and eco-friendly.
