Telecommunications networks have traditionally been built without much regard to their energy-efficiency. But as data volumes on these networks grow exponentially, the amount of energy being used to power the many components of these networks is also increasing, as is the cost of that energy.

Bell Labs Chief Scientist Dr Alice White has attended her first meetiing advising Australia’s Centre for Energy-Efficient Telecommunications (CEET).

Alcatel-Lucent is calling for urgent action to improve the energy efficiency of telecommunications networks amid predictions that, on current projections, the Internet could consume as much as 10 percent of global energy supply by 2020.

Research breakthrough promises more energy-efficient fibre networks.

The GreenTouch Consortium - a global research initiative dedicated to dramatically improving the energy efficiency of information and communications technology networks by a factor of 1,000 - says it will reveal a comprehensive roadmap at an Open Forum on 17 November in conjunction with its members meeting, in Seattle.
