Wedoany.com Report-Mar 6, VEON has marked an agreement between Jazz, its digital operator in Pakistan, and Huawei to deploy solar power in Jazz’s 1,000 sites across Pakistan. The solarization of the sites, powered by Huawei’s iSolar technology, will be completed within the coming months, facilitating Jazz’s transition to sustainable telecom network infrastructure with green energy. The initiative will support an energy cost reduction of up to 96% at the sites where the technology is implemented.
