Climate protection and measures to mitigate climate change are defining issues both nationally and internationally. A1 Telekom Austria Group is an enabler for green and digital transformation and has set ambitious environmental targets as part of its ESG strategy as part of its social responsibility. “A1 Telekom Austria Group’s “digitalisation and climate change” study: Broadband is saving CO2″

Nokia has announced the launch of a new in-wall ONT for enterprise optical local area network (LAN) connectivity. The new product delivers gigabit speeds to provide a reliable, fast and secure broadband connection inside offices, hotels, hospitals, schools and other enterprise segments. The Nokia ONT is part of Nokia’s comprehensive Optical LAN portfolio designed to help enterprises meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) objectives.

With demand for gigabit services, IoT and file sharing applications growing, enterprises need to establish a LAN that can meet and stay ahead of evolving demands. Delivering a fraction of the complexity, space, energy and costs of a traditional copper-based LAN, Optical LAN uses fibre optic cables to provide a future-proof, high-capacity network alternative for in-building and campus connectivity that can help reduce energy costs by roughly 40%.

Nokia’s new ONT can help enterprises effectively extend the reach of their Optical LAN network to deliver more data capacity to employees using video, voice and data intense applications over the network. The ONT can power additional endpoint devices such as access points or cameras and can be securely mounted in the wall to help save space and reduce the chances for damage or theft. The new Nokia ONT for Optical LAN will be available in 2Q 2024.

Geert Heyninck, the general manager of broadband networks at Nokia, said: “Optical LAN is the right technology for enterprise connectivity today and in the future. Today, we have more than 600 customers, including hospitality, healthcare, airports and universities, that are deploying it with great success, and the number continues to grow. Helping to reduce TCO by as much as 50%, Optical LAN provides enterprises with significant operational and sustainable benefits that collectively can help reduce the energy and CO2 emissions of the IT networks they run.”

Julie Kunstler, the chief analyst, broadband access intelligence service at Omdia, said: “Optical LAN simply makes sense for enterprises. It´s environmentally sustainable, using passive components while reducing energy-consuming network elements. Furthermore, fibre-based LANs are adaptable, a key requirement in an ever-changing world. An Optical LAN will provide a future-proof LAN solution for years to come.”

Finnish telecoms and digital services company Elisa has announced its intention to enable international telecoms operators to play a key part in tackling climate change by storing their surplus renewable energy and reducing their carbon footprints. Elisa’s approach will also enable telecom operators to develop a new revenue stream through participating in the energy market and optimising their energy purchases, thereby reducing their energy costs. “Telecoms leading the charge for green energy”

KDDI, Cisco Systems and Fujitsu have announced the commencement of full-scale operations for the metro network on Oct. 1, 2023. The regional network combines the internet protocol (IP) layer network with the optical transmission layer network, creating a more streamlined operational experience. “KDDI, Cisco and Fujitsu launch metro network for streamlined operations”

The European Investment Bank (EIB) has signed a €315 million finance contract with Cellnex to support development of the mobile telecoms infrastructure behind 5G rollouts in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy and Poland. The loan will mobilise total investment of €631 million to improve and expand the coverage and capacity of high bandwidth mobile network infrastructure in these countries, helping to speed up digital transition in both urban and rural areas.

Telefonica Tech and Geotab announce their collaboration with Vecttor to increase the efficiency, safety and sustainability of their vehicles. Telefonica Tech provides a fleet management service to Vecttor vehicles in Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga, Sevilla and Valencia. This solution includes different components such as IoT connectivity, the device and the telematics platform. As a result, Vecttor has enabled more than 3,000 VTC vehicles to reduce 20 tonnes of CO2 emissions per year.

Telecommunications is an energy-intensive industry. Operators alone account for 2-3% of total global energy consumption and the pressure to produce more new technologies to meet and exceed consumer demand continues to grow. This means that the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced while facilitating these technological developments increases too.

The climate crisis coupled with significant rises in energy costs has made sustainability a pressing matter for communication service providers (CSPs) to address. They are now actively taking steps to become more sustainable, with a focus on reducing their impact on the planet through renewable energy and data centres or cloudifying their networks, says Angus Ward, CEO, Beyond Now.

Marathons are always 26 miles and 385 yards, which is 42.195 kilometres. If you travel by sea, any sea, your speed is always in knots, with a knot being one nautical mile per hour, and a nautical mile is always 1852 metres/6072 feet. Netflix content may vary by territory, but the interface is the same. Standardisation allows us to go about our lives in the same way other people go about theirs, says Dario Betti, CEO at Mobile Ecosystem Forum.

Fujitsu has announced launch of its 1FINITY Ultra Optical System, a hyper-reliable optical transport platform delivering extreme performance and scalability with data rates of 1.2 terabits per second (Tbps) on a single wavelength, with future upgrade to 1.6 Tbps. Fujitsu will launch the new platform in the first half of 2023 to communications service providers (CSPs) and cloud infrastructure providers (CIPs) globally, starting with customers in Japan, North America, as well as throughout Europe where Fujitsu recently expanded availability of its full line of optical, wireless and networking software solutions.
