Orange awarded at Global Mobile Awards 2011

The award was for the Orange solar base station programme which saves more than 10 million litres of fuel and 29,000 tonnes of CO2 and provides 6 GWh of solar energy across the AMEA radio network every year.

"The solar base station programme has many benefits - to our customers in rural areas; our infrastructure costs; and to the environment. This award is tremendous recognition for the success of this programme that will continue to roll out across AMEA," said Marc Rennard, executive VP, Africa, Middle East and Asia, Orange.
