Operators Demand

Operators Demand

CO2 emission in 2010 lower 50% than 1995 Initiate CO900 project

Cooperate with Verizon, Qwest organize ATIS NIPP TEE standard Take energy consumption as key element

Green Action Programme starts up now! power consumption per traffic in 2010 lower 40% than 2005 Lower power consumption, save source, CO area and cost, waste recycle

Improve equipment EE by 20% in 2009 Take CN, ON, DC as purchase compliance Green plan change work environment to energy saving mode

CO2 emission reduced by 80% @ 2020 (vs.1996)

Energy consumption per unit in 2011 lower by 40% than that of 2005 Lower power consumption and improve EE

Improve equipment EE by 30% energy saving -- CEO Cesar Alierta Total power, petrol, water consumption

Low energy is key performance, said by TI CTO Stefano Pileri Develop energy saving plan for NGN2 Per-user power reduced by 20% @ 2020 (vs.2006)

Green Radio A key enabler

Trends
Exponential growth in data traffic Number of base stations / area increasing for higher capacity Big gap Data Revenue growth constrained and dependent on new services Carriers under pressure to dramatically reduce TCO and energy bill

Traffic

Voice

Revenue

Time Consequences
Energy use cannot follow traffic growth without significant increase in energy consumption MUST REDUCE Energy Per Bit Number of base stations increasing MUST REDUCE Operating Power Per Cell to save TCO

Green Radio -A key enabler for sustainable mobile communication business
