CTOnews.com, September 30 (Reuters)-affected by the energy crisis, power outages or energy rationing in EU countries will lead to the outage of some mobile networks, making it impossible for mobile phones across Europe to communicate with the Internet this winter.

Four telecoms executives said they were concerned that the severe winter would test Europe's telecoms infrastructure, forcing companies and governments to find ways to mitigate the impact. Many European countries do not have enough backup systems to deal with major power outages, which also increases the likelihood of mobile network outages. According to the report, there are nearly 500000 mobile communication base stations in Europe, most of which have spare batteries, but can only run for 30 minutes.

CTOnews.com learned that EU countries, including France, Sweden and Germany, were working to ensure that communications services were not disrupted, and that French power distributors planned to take turns to cut power across the country, although services such as hospitals, police and government would not be affected by the outages, but the mobile network was not on the power guarantee list. Sweden's telecom regulator says it is buying portable base stations and generators to prepare for a possible emergency. Telecom Italia lobbied the government to exclude mobile networks from the blackout list.

Telecom equipment makers Nokia and Ericsson are working with mobile operators to mitigate the impact of power shortages, three sources said. Four telecom executives said European telecom operators should overhaul their networks to further reduce energy consumption and use more energy-efficient systems. To save energy, telecom companies use software to optimize traffic, put base stations into "sleep mode" when they are not in use, and turn off various frequency bands, according to sources familiar with the matter.
