Wireless and wireline network service lifecycle within user premises
Rollout and update of usable well-defined indoor/outdoor wireless and wireline network connectivity service in defined user premises.
ETSI’s Industry Specification Group on Operational energy Efficiency for Users (ISG OEU) addresses operational eco-efficient ICT, including power consumption and greenhouse gas emissions related to infrastructure, equipment and software within ICT sites and networks.
Key areas of work
Evolution in Fixed Radio Systems architectures towards improved eco-efficiency
Evaluation of legacy product architecture for Fixed Radio Systems and the positive impact of architecture evolutions towards improved eco-efficiency, reduced power consumption, and minimised environmental impact.
Application of circular economy principles to ICT equipment and services; usage considerations for greener operation of ICT including telecom systems
Qualitative analysis of the possibilities to reduce energy consumption, particularly in operation of ICT equipment and infrastructure.
What we do
Energy efficiency of system installations (data centre buildings, transmission node building, computer rooms, networks and IT systems) is extremely important for users of ICT system installations such as vehicle manufacturers, banks, insurance companies, network operators, airlines, and government ministries.
Independently from the ICT systems integrators, service providers, producers and manufacturers of ICT system installations, the Users, in the perspective of EU Digital Agenda mechanism and law enforcements (e.g. “carbon taxes”) are proposing commonly agreed and proofed Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) and framework of implementation.
For users of ICT systems, existing indicators (Like PUE from The Green Grid association) are not comprehensive enough and do not take into account all users’ installation efforts and detailed operational constraints (such as external physical environment, climate and geography, redundancy, free cooling) as well as all innovative energy efficiency techniques (e.g. increase of maximum operational temperature).
