The solution is based on Ericsson's main remote GSM base station RBS 2111, which is one in a series of energy-optimised, innovative base stations from Ericsson.

Ericsson said that the solution offers the market's lowest energy consumption, helping reduce operating costs and environmental impact, and its deployment marks a first in South America.
