Humoud Al-Ghobaini, Mobily’s VP for Corporate Communications and PR said that Mobily is always doing all the best to deploy techniques which contribute to the ecological friendly communities.
Al-Ghobaini also added “Mobily is always at the forefront of innovation and has proven to be a pioneer in doing so when it installed Ericsson’s state-of-the-art, environmentally and aesthetically friendly tower, in 2009. The construction and the innovative format of the tube, helped to reduce the power and protected the environment while contributing to a clear reduction of the operational costs of the tower.”
Mobily’s unique tower tube has an innovative design that includes base stations and antennas completely housed into the tower that is made of flexible porcelain which is self-supporting. Therefore the environmental impact of the concrete is lighter than the traditional steel structure, thus resulting in 30 percent less emission of carbon dioxide during production and transportation, and helps save 40 percent of the traditional steel towers’ energy consumption.
