These are related to diverse network processes including: routers, power rectifiers and wireless access equipment – currently in development.
The standards provide a comprehensive methodology for measuring and reporting energy consumption, and uniformly quantify a network component’s ratio of “work performed” to energy consumed.
The efficiency standards are specific to equipment type, network location and classification. Normalizing these ratings by functionality enables “apples-to-apples” equipment comparison. This systemized assessment results in repeatable and comparable energy consumption measurement.
“The TEER’s development is another example of ATIS’ market-driven work,” said Susan Miller, ATIS president and CEO. “It reaffirms industry’s commitment to environmental sustainability and green business practices. Moreover, it will enable diverse industry elements increased efficiencies and cost containment – which translates to savings for end-users.”
