Clear Blue Technologies Collaborates with Facebook Research and Mayu Telecomunicaciones on Rural Telecom Field Study
August 19 2021 - 7:30AM
Today, Clear Blue Technologies International Inc. (TSXV: CBLU)
(“Clear Blue”) announced Project SEISMIC (Smart Energy
Infrastructure for Mobile Internet Connectivity), an initiative
with Facebook Research and Mayu Telecomunicaciones (“Mayutel”) that
aims to help accelerate rural telecom infrastructure through
innovations in power management. By collecting real-world field
study data, the project hopes to validate that telecom sites
powered by smart off-grid power can achieve significantly lower
capital expenditures, reduce site power consumption, minimize
operating costs and optimize service levels.
The field study is currently underway in Peru. Mayutel, the
first rural mobile infrastructure operator in Peru, built the
SEISMIC telecom test sites, while Clear Blue provided smart power
technology using a power management module, software, and cloud
service to enable dynamic power management. Data collection and
field testing began earlier this year, with plans to publish
initial findings in 6-9 months. The project intends to validate a
smart power management solution that could offer significant
savings in power costs between 40 to 60 percent, while still
maintaining relevant telecom performance.
“Rural areas are the new frontier where the telecom market is
seeing rapid growth,” said Miriam Tuerk, CEO and co-Founder of
Clear Blue. “Clear Blue’s technology is a critical factor to making
internet and telecom connection more accessible by lowering the
cost of power, especially in these rural regions. We’re excited to
see the results of the field study, which will provide measurable
proof to telecom operators and investors on the quantifiable value
of smart power – a significant step forward for the industry in
supporting wider deployment.”
In rural areas, traditional power is cost-prohibitive, with
service challenges and expensive operational costs due to low
population density. Telecom operators account for 2 to 3 percent of
total global energy demand, making them some of the most
energy-intensive companies in their geographic markets. However,
global telecom network providers are expected to install nearly
121.9 GW of cumulative new distributed renewable energy generation
technologies and distributed energy storage systems capacity
between 2021 and 2030. Finding new ways to bring cost-effective,
sustainable energy solutions to telecom services in rural regions
will help reduce the challenges of operational costs and drive
greater business efficiencies.
In undertaking the field study, Project SEISMIC aims to show
that smart power, based on Clear Blue’s technology, can reduce
energy consumption, installation costs and operating expenses for
telecom operators, while not compromising on network service.

About Mayu TelecomunicacionesMayutel is a
telecommunications infrastructure operator focused on rural areas
of Peru. Mayutel builds and operates its own telecommunications
networks in rural regions where there is a lack of
telecommunications infrastructure and, consequently,
telecommunications services. Mobile Operators lease their
infrastructure in order to provide services to new users in these
regions. Mayutel is founded with the vision of making possible the
provision of quality telecommunications services in an efficient
and sustainable way to each of the country's inhabitants regardless
of geography, distances and market difficulties. For more
