To reduce costs & increase sustainability, tower site equipment purchases are driven by the need to increase energy efficiency.
Reducing the use of electricity at tower sites is high priority for wireless carriers these days. One way of doing this is by reducing HVAC use, which generally accounts for a good deal of the electricity use of a cell site. Reducing electricity use also helps carriers meet commitments they have made to be carbon neutral.
To lower those costs and meet sustainability goals, wireless carriers are turning to RF Industries’ (RFI) Next Generation Direct Air Cooling (DAC), a fan-based direct air cooling system that provides low maintenance, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly cooling options for equipment cabinets and shelter enclosures. It works by bringing fresh, outside air to the equipment in an energy-efficient, controlled and clean manner.
