Vihaan Networks Ltd., an Indian telecommunications company known as VNL, won the Bronze award for a solar-powered base station to bring cellphone access to remote rural villages.

The technology, which now is being called the ‘WorldGSM’ has a philosophy of providing mobile services that are low in cost, maintenance, can be self deployed and are solar powered.
