Starcomms Empowers Telecentre Operators with Solar chargers

Telecommunications operator in the Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) space Starcomms Plc has given out free solar chargers to high performing Starcomms Telecentre operators in the country.
The solar battery charger is a portable device that is easy to use and environment friendly, competing effectively with regular source of power. To get results the solar devices are exposed to daylight. Through clear medium, the solar power battery charger converts the sun rays into low voltage DC electricity, providing power that can be stored or used.
Maher Qubain, chief executive officer, Starcomms said: “Providing these solar chargers to this very enterprising people is one of the best things that can be done under the circumstance. I have always tried to empathize with these Telecenter operators each time there is a power cut in my office or home for hours. I always wondered how these low scale entrepreneurs cope. At Starcomms we always look for the best way to solve problems so that business can move forward for us and those working with us. So we came up with this solar charger solution for our associates.”
The problem of epileptic power supply has forced many businesses in the country to collapse especially in the last one year. Among the worst hit are the call centers that always need constant electricity to remain in business. This is due to the fact that as more calls are made from these call centre telephones, the shorter the life span of the telephone batteries. The challenge of charging is therefore heightened by the fact that access to electricity in the street is limited even when there is constant supply from the established agency. Therefore with the device under the table, Telecenter operators can take on as many customers as they want on a phone in a day.
Presenting the Solar charger in Abuja to Miss Nneka Ezeobi, operating at Chisco Motor Park, Utako Abuja, Ndubuisi Nnodua, Starcomms dealer Channel Executive in Abuja said that Starcomms is sure that Telecenter operators would be making more money if the problem of power outage is taken off their shoulders. “Therefore the company has thought out innovative ways to assist operators along this line. However, this solar device gifts to Telecenters are for those who have, against all odds continued to sustain a high tempo in their call center businesses,” he said.
The recipients of the solar charging device, Nneka Ezeobi said she had heard of solar energy before but was always wondering how it works but seeing the solar charger from Starcomms she said her days of power outage woes have ended.
“I don’t have to depend on anybody’s generator now to do my business. Thank you very much Starcomms,” she said.
