For Ericsson
and for the world at large, the company's new Base Transceiver Station
Standby feature means a possible reduction of 1 million tons of carbon
dioxide emissions if the software upgrade were to be rolled out
globally. For Vodafone
Germany, it represents a power savings of 10 to 20 percent -- and
therefore an energy bill 10 to 20 percent lower -- and while we reckon
that's not quite as scrupulous a reason, it's still a win / win
situation as far as we're concerned. The so-called BTS Standby upgrade
is compatible with Ericsson tower equipment manufactured since 1995,
giving hope that it could end up seeing fairly rapid and widespread
acceptance across the world's GSM carriers, inching us toward
Ericsson's lofty CO2 emission reduction claim. Don't suppose Vodafone
would want to go with some of those tower tubes while they're at it, would they?
