Nokia Siemens Networks in global collaboration with ACME Tele Power will provide energy efficient radio cell site solutions to telecom operators. The solution will offer efficient operation, maintenance and energy management features to telecom operators. The companies will create customized solutions that improve networks' environmental performance and positively impact customers' competitiveness and profitability.

Both the companies will jointly explore new environmentally friendly initiatives that offer long-term operational expenditure benefits to operators. The joint development lab in India will examine future opportunities, specifically around remote energy monitoring solutions.

"While we have made significant headway in the market with our energy efficiency solutions, we are continually exploring new ways to drive environmental sustainability and reduce costs for our customers. With ACME, we see an opportunity to break new ground with further innovative customer solutions. We are looking forward to working with them in emerging markets where the ability to provide cost effective rural connectivity is key," said Ashish Chowdhary, head of Managed Services, Nokia Siemens Networks.

"We have a good understanding of emerging markets and have devised a wide range of products and solutions that effectively address the cost efficiency and energy management challenges that typically face operators in these markets.
