Summary

Green Telecom Networks

Energy Efficiency, Renewable Power, and Carbon Emissions Reductions for Fixed and Mobile Telecommunications Networks

Energy consumption is one of the leading drivers of operating expenses for both fixed and mobile network operators. Reliable access to electricity is limited in many developing countries that are currently the high-growth markets for telecommunications. At the same time, many operators have adopted corporate social responsibility initiatives with a goal of reducing their networks carbon footprints, and network infrastructure vendors are striving to gain competitive advantage by reducing the power requirements of their equipment. All of these factors will continue to converge over the next several years, creating significant market potential for greener telecom networks.

These market drivers are manifesting themselves in several ways within the global telecom industry. The large equipment vendors are creating highly-efficient network elements that consume far less power than in previous hardware generations. Operators and vendors alike are exploring innovative network architectures and topologies that will support more capacity with less infrastructure. And the entire industry is working to incorporate renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, particularly for off-grid mobile base stations in developing countries where the vast majority of subscriber additions will occur over the next five years.

This Pike Research report provides a detailed examination of the opportunities and challenges associated with improving the energy efficiency of fixed and mobile telecom networks, as well as utilizing renewable power sources such as solar photovoltaics, wind energy, and fuel cells. The report provides a comprehensive overview of the technologies as well as the key drivers of market development over the next five years and beyond. Detailed business case analysis is provided, along with an in-depth examination of industry participants motivations for deploying greener networks. Forecasts include energy efficient network infrastructure capex spending and emissions reductions from fixed and mobile networks as well as telecom data centers. Key industry players in each category are also profiled.

Key questions addressed:

Who are the leading providers, OEMs, and technology companies that are driving green telecom initiatives?
What are some of the best practice implementations being done today?
What factors should be taken into account when identifying, planning and implementing alternative energy systems for communication infrastructures?
What regulatory and non-regulatory bodies are involved in green telecom, and what is their role?
What is the impact of green telecom on emerging markets versus developed markets?
What is the business case for green telecom, and what components have the most impact on ROI?
