Solar and SDR platform allow 3G Everest deployment Electronics News

ZTE has deployed eight 3G stations at the Mount Everest National Park, including the Mount Everest base camp located 5180m above sea level.

ZTE says it provided a tailor-made solution to ensure the stations would be able to withstand the high altitude and harsh natural environment of the Himalayas.

The micro base-station is based on the SDR platform, which ZTE says has a low power-consumption, small footprint, and is easy to install.

A one-piece ground tower and heat-insulating Diet shelter are used in the stations, which allow them to be installed quickly without the need for earthwork and foundation construction.

The station has solar panels incorporated in the design. This allows the station to operate at optimal levels even with outdoor temperatures as low as minus 30 to 40°C with minimal power usage.
