      • What do we mean by Green?
      Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009
    3. Why now? (broad factors)
      • Economic crisis
      • New government funding
        • Obama plan promotes green technology
        • Greener broadband access can win more government funding, rebates and tax incentives
      • Social responsibility
        • Be the leading corporate citizen in your market
      • Competitive advantage
        • “ Outgreen” your competition
        • Outgreening becomes a survival strategy
      Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009
    4. Why now? (industry drivers)* Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009
      • Studies show the Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) sector can play a key role in greenhouse gas reduction:
        • ICT-enabled solutions could cut annual CO 2 emissions in the U.S. by up to 22 percent in 2020.
        • A 7% increase in broadband adoption could result in $6.4 billion per year in mileage savings from unnecessary driving and 3.2 billion fewer pounds of carbon emissions in the U.S.
        • Substituting video conferencing for 10% of business air travel would reduce carbon emissions in the U.S. by some 35 million tons annually.
        • Widespread use of broadband has the potential to reduce carbon emissions by more than 1 billion metric tons.
      *All claims and numbers on this page from March 2009 ATIS Report On Environmental Sustainability.
    5. Why now? (network drivers)*
      • Largest single OPEX in network = power
        • Accounts for more than 50% of mobile operator's OPEX
        • Area of greatest need and OPEX reduction potential
        • Base station (PA) the dominant power consumer (>70% of site power)
      • 4G will require greater energy efficiency
        • Larger data volumes at higher speeds
        • More efficient data transmission technologies will require more power
        • 4G = opportunity to implement green technologies
      • Emerging economies
        • India, Africa, other countries building new infrastructure
        • They are struggling with availability and reliability of power grids

      Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009
    7. Why measure and rate?
      • Need to rate #1 solution in saving OPEX for operators
      • Need to rate #1 solution in all aspects of the cell site
        • Site design
        • Shelter size
        • Energy management
        • Energy consumption
        • Carbon emissions
      • Ratings enable operators to make better decisions!
      Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009
      • Identify and quantify energy-consuming elements
        • Base station (BTS)
        • Cooling system
        • Transmission system (microwave, etc.)
        • Feeder loss between indoor unit and antenna
      • Identify energy source and storage elements
        • Diesel generator
        • Grid
        • Lead-acid battery
      Which elements can be “greened”? Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009
      • Energy management to reduce consumption
        • Generator-hybrid battery operation
        • Turn off base station sectors late at night
        • Convection cooling system
      • Feeder cabling loss reduction
        • Replace with indoor and outdoor solution for BTS
      • Renewable energy sources
        • Solar, wind, biodiesel
      • Alternate storage sources
        • Hydrogen fuel cell
      • LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design)
        • Sustainable green building practices for design, construction and operation of high performance green buildings
      Adopt & quantify green practices Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009
    8. How do you rate “green”?
      • Develop a simplified, consumer-like rating system based on
        • Energy usage efficiency
        • Cooling system efficiency
        • Carbon emissions reduction
      • Develop product specification, tests and certification processes similar to the Energy Star program
        • Long-lived, successful (started 1992)
        • Specification for 60 product categories
        • 15,000 private and public companies
        • $19B energy cost savings in 2008
      Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009
      • A valid rating system must establish a like-for-like comparison of energy metrics
        • Type and size of site (pico, micro, macro)
        • Type and size of BTS equipment (number of subscribers served at a given Mbps)
        • Type and size of cooling system
        • Type and size of renewable energy source and storage
      Like-for-like comparison Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009 Graphic artist: Can we do an apples to apples, oranges to oranges symbolism here? = =
      • Green action plan for vendors and operators
      Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009
    9. Benchmarking
      • Promote three types of industry benchmarking
        • Site efficiency rating: kilowatt hours (kWh) of energy consumed per RF output power of a site
        • Subscriber efficiency rating: kWh of energy consumed per Mbps per subscriber served by a site
        • Component energy efficiency rating compared to a traditional equipment
      • Benchmark against existing traditional practices
        • Compare to inefficient energy source, battery and cooling system
        • Provides historical progress report
      Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009
    10. Best practices
      • Make energy parameters a significant part of network and site design
      • Reduce size of site, shelter, BTS and cooling equipment
      • More efficient cooling system and backup power
      • More efficient, better managed energy sources
      • Longer equipment life for generators, batteries, etc.
      • Lower equipment maintenance for generators, air conditioners, etc.
      • Go beyond deployment and operation
        • incorporate best practices into manufacturing, shipping, logistics, installation and maintenance
      Green Telecom @ CTIA Conference - March 31, 2009
    11. Standards participation
      • Participate in local, regional, national and global standards organizations that advance the industry’s green initiatives
      • Implement the standards developed through these organizations
      • Green vendors communicate their standards, ratings and practices to operators
      • Service providers communicate green leadership to subscriber base
