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.
