Green Telecom Networks - Mobile and Fixed Telecommunications Networks: Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Recycling and Reuse, and Carbon Emissions Reduction Opportunities
Green Telecom Networks - Mobile and Fixed Telecommunications Networks: Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Recycling and Reuse, and Carbon Emissions Reduction Opportunities
Telecom service providers today must manage a delicate balancing act. On one
hand, they are driven to increase their subscriber bases and drive more
traffic on their networks, while maintaining a high level of service quality
and availability. At the same time, they must keep a close eye on the bottom
line and meet their public pledges to reduce capital and operating
expenditures, total cost of ownership, and CO2 emissions. To achieve these
goals, operators are working to reduce energy-related expenses, increase
operational efficiency, reduce costs associated with network deployments, and
increase their utilization of clean energy sources.
In this context, network operators and telecom equipment vendors continue to
invest in initiatives to improve the energy efficiency of telecom networks and
reduce their associated carbon emissions. Pike Research's analysis indicates
that these initiatives are likely to result in a significant reduction in
energy-related operating expenses in addition to a dramatic decrease in GHG
emissions related to telecom network operations.
This Pike Research report focuses on the direct impact of green technologies
and practices as applied to telecommunications networks. Specifically
addressed are the market drivers and business decisions that drive the usage
and implementation of green practices across fixed and mobile networks. In
addition, quantitative market forecasts through 2016 are provided to describe
the effects of these green technologies and practices on operational and
environmental costs.

Press Release
Green Telecom Programs Shift Focus to Energy Efficiency
May 15th, 2012
Global Information Inc. would like to present a new market research report, "Green Telecom Networks - Mobile and Fixed Telecommunications Networks: Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Recycling and Reuse, and Carbon Emissions Reduction Opportunities" by Navigant Research (formerly Pike Research).
A range of factors including pledges to reduce GHG emissions, the desire to minimize the impact of rising energy prices, and the decreasing cost of deploying base stations run on clean energy is driving telecom service providers to create more sustainable systems for delivering their services. According to a new report from Pike Research, however, the pathway to achieving these goals has shifted: The focus of green telecom has swung strongly to energy efficiency. While clean power is not to be discounted, operators (and thus suppliers) are placing much more emphasis today on curbing power consumption than on deploying green base stations.
By 2016, Pike Research forecasts, sustainable telecom network infrastructure investments will represent over 61% of global telecom capital expenditures, representing a $194 billion market. Of these investments, 65% will go into mobile networks in 2016.
"Green power is not feasible or economical at all locations," says research director Eric Woods. "In most cases, some type of green power supply can be deployed, but there are areas where this is not an option or the ROI is too low to justify. Services such as network and site planning can also reduce the energy needed to run a network, and vendors are also placing more emphasis on their own supply chains to reduce energy consumption and decrease emissions."
Within mobile networks, base stations and switching centers may consume 60% to 85% of an operators network energy usage, so improvements here are critical. Concentrating on improvements in radio frequency (RF) amplifiers, switches, new network architectures and topologies, fresh air cooling solutions, and the use of sustainable energy solutions for off-grid locations, service providers and vendors are combining forces to make sure that the newer 4G networks require less power than legacy networks. As a result, Pike Research forecasts that emissions levels associated with mobile networks will decline to 251 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (MtCO2e) by 2016 versus 266 MtCO2e for 2011.
Pike Researchs report, "Green Telecom Networks", focuses on the direct impact of green technologies and practices as applied to telecommunications networks. Specifically addressed are the market drivers and business decisions that drive the usage and implementation of green practices across fixed and mobile networks. In addition, quantitative market forecasts through 2016 are provided to describe the effects of these green technologies and practices on operational and environmental costs.
