Black & Veatch Launches Help for Greening Wireless

Black & Veatch, global engineering, consulting and construction company, announced  it has launched services designed to address sustainability challenges faced by wireless communications service providers.

These services address the increasingly important need for the wireless industry to proactively assess areas such as monitoring carbon footprint, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and implementing renewable energy usage.

The wireless industry faces challenges related to environmental and climate change regulations. Wireless service providers have hundreds or thousands of wireless cell sites across the territories that they serve. Each site is subject to local, state and federal zoning and regulation. The requirements determine where cell sites are located; materials used at each site, and the type of generation that can be used to provide electricity to each site.
