Verizon introduces comprehensive Energy Efficiency Requirements for Network Equipment
Verizon recently announced that effective January 1, 2009, all telecom equipment used in the Verizon network must adhere to new requirements mandating a 20% improvement in energy efficiency. This marks the first time that an RBOC has published requirements to reduce the power required for the equipment that runs its networks.
To reduce its power consumption and energy costs and shrink its carbon footprint, Verizon has established its own energy-consumption standards and an associated measurement process for new telecommunications equipment. The standards will be applied to certain broadband, video, data-center, network and customer-premises equipment purchased after Jan. 1, 2009. The target provided to the manufacturers of such equipment is 20 percent greater efficiency over the products that are currently being sold to Verizon.
Verizon established a series of Telecommunications Equipment Energy Efficiency Ratings based on formulas that test the consumption of equipment in various operating conditions and settings. Test data are entered into formulas developed for each type of equipment, which will indicate whether or not they achieve the target rating.
Equipment to be tested and rated includes optical and video transport systems, switches and routers, DSLAM high-speed internet equipment and optical line termination gear, as well as switching power systems, data center servers and power adapters that operate customer equipment.
The Energy Efficiency Requirements for Telecommunications Equipment are available for review at www.verizonnebs.com, under Verizon Technical Purchasing Requirements (TPRs), VZ.TPR.9205. The program is being managed by Chuck Graff, Director of Corporate Network and Technology, who can be contacted at ludwig.c.graff@verizon.com for more information.
