At the Mobile World Congress 2008 in Barcelona, Spain, Motorola came with solutions in the development of alternative power for cell phones. The technologies displayed during Mobile World Congress include fuel cells and reflow batteries for wireless, high speed broadband including HSxPA and WiMAX environments.
According to Fred Wright, senior vice-president of Cellular Networks and WiMAX at Motorola Home & Networks Mobility, Motorola’s solar and wind powered cell site trials in UK and Namibia were a huge success therefore they will keep on developing alternative power sources and technologies to satisfy the demands of the market in need of power solutions.
Also, Wright states that Motorola offers solutions for all operators indifferent of the technology they use and that they supply practical and viable from a commercially point of view. He is backed by the fact that Flow Battery is a better substitute for conventional batteries which are a more cost effective and have low carbon footprint.
The story doesn’t end here - Motorola claims that they have the answer in fuel cells and reflow batteries for TETRA radio networks used in public-safety environments. If it were to believe them, the technology can be user in every part of the world. Now, we wait to see more news and information.
