Imagine a simple and cost-efficient radio network that givesa competitive edge for your business. You will need a partnerthan can offer superior customer experience through the costefficient performance available in the market. Imagine using only seven radio units to carry eight bands ona 3-sector site, including Dual-band Massive MIMO, whentraditionally it would have been 24. Yes, it is Possible! Usethe state-of-the-art triple-band multi-sector radios, togetherwith a time division duplexing (TDD) and frequency divisionduplexing (FDD) combined radio in mid-band and thenround the solution off with a Dual-band Massive-MIMO andDual-band Radio in the TDD mid-band. Ericsson makesit possible Towerco, reduced expenses for tower reinforcement, andincreased revenue from partners, as more space becomesavailable for rent. Ericsson developed a solution customized for Africanmarkets, which is unique in three aspects: 1.The only vendor with a multisector Triple-band Radio inlow band (6646) We recently introduced this new Triple-band FDD plus TDD inVodafone Egypt. It is a single-sector Radio that can replaceup to nine radios. The value proposition we mentionedhas been demonstrated in the field and has been widelypublicized. Radio 4466, an Ericsson Radio System product,will support communication service providers (CSPs) tosimultaneously enable 5G and 4G services across 1800MHz,2100MHz, and 2600MHz (TDD) spectrum layers with a singleunit, minimizing the number of equipment normally required. 2.FDD and TDD combined in a Triple-band Radio (4466) 3.Dual-band 32T/32R Massive MIMO Antenna IntegratedRadio (3229) All of this with a best-in-industry customer experience andenergy performance. Radio 6646 provides great flexibility for multiple types ofdeployments with minimal site footprint. It is an outdoor6T/6R FDD 3-sector Triple-band Macro Radio. Radio 6646supports 900/800/700, three sectors, and 2T 2R in one box.It is also 60 percent lighter in weight and 40 percent lower inenergy consumption when compared to Triple-band Single-sector Radios. This means that in addition to power, thetower load is also important, leading to lower costs with your The Dual-band Antenna Integrated Radio (AIR) 3229 isavailable in combinations of 2300MHz and 3500MHz or2600MHz and 3500MHz in TDD. It consists of 32 transmittersand 32 receivers per band, and has 192 antenna elements,with output power up to 400 W. The energy consumption isreduced by 20 percent compared to Single-band Radios andthe tower footprint is reduced by 50 percent. And the resultsare amazing! The total cost of operations TCO savings from using Ericssonradios like Radio 4466, Radio 6646, and Radio 3229 primarilycome from reduced energy consumption, operationalefficiency, tower load savings and capital expenditure(CAPEX) savings. These radios offer energy efficiencygains of around 30 to 35 percent, significantly cuttingelectricity costs. Reduction in the number of radios on the tower translates into enabling simplification of tower leaseagreements, which can lead to potentially more favorablerates. The reduction in energy consumption and lower weighton towers can result in achieving USD 70 million in savingsfor 5000 sites network for five years. Here’s a breakdown ofhow these savings are realized over time: Moreover, these radios bring about significant savings in CO2emissions. For example, in a country like South Africa, we canachieve a reduction of 34,800 tons of CO2 reduction per year for5000 sites. This reduction can be compared to impacts such as Removing almost 7,500 passengervehicles from the road a year Major investments in R&D Join us in exploring these groundbreaking innovations toreduce costs and foster sustainability. Together, we canstrengthen the collective efforts to minimize expenses andcreate a greener, more economically sustainable world.CO2 We have doubled down on our commitment to Africa.Through continuous product development and innovation,Ericsson enables our customers to excel in network evolutionwhile optimizing sustainability, quality, and simplicity. Ourinvestment in R&D specifically for Africa was evident with thewidely deployed 6626, and this next generation of the 6646and the 3229 is taking 4G and 5G to the next level. Ericsson Radios:Driving cost savingsand a green future Ericsson radios, including Radio 4466, 6646, and 3229,offer significant TCO savings through reduced energyconsumption, operational efficiency, and CAPEX savings.Achieving up to 35 percent energy efficiency gains, thesestate-of-the-art radios lead to substantial cost reductions.For example, for a 5,000-site network, A CSP’s savingscan reach USD 70 million over five years, with USD 30million from energy savings and USD 40 million from towerrental savings. Additionally, Ericsson radios contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing CO2 emissions by34,800 tons annually, which is equivalent to removing almost7,500 passenger vehicles from the road, or saving 4.2
