Hi3G has entered into agreement with Birka Energi on inplacement of Hi3G's antennas and other equipment i Birka Energi's power poles and transformer stations.
The parties have agreed not to disclose the order values
- It is with great joy we present yet another agreement concerning mast sharing for Hi3Gs 3G base stations. All in line with our mission to give Sweden access to this new infrastructure in a cost effective way, and with as little environmental impact as possible, says Jörgen Askeroth, CTO Hi3G. We aim to sign additional agreements with more mast owners, Jörgen concludes.
- Through utilizing our current infrastructure in terms of masts, industrial facilities and stations, we are able to offer very good placements of the 3G stations, says Bengt Almgren, responsible for Birka Energi's communications area. This brings greater capital gains for us, lower costs for the tele operators, and substantially less environmental impact compared to new localisation of masts.
