Green4G - Now is the right time for the wireless industry to lead the information age society as the most effective and productive way to progress while reducing environmental impact.  Next generation Wireless is the most dynamic 'technology environment' to bring people and information together.. the 4G super highway of the post fosil fuel age.  Stand up to the challenge and exciting opportunities.

Green 4G advocates pro-active use of broadband as an enabler of Green communications methods used in work and personal activities.  Join us to take advantage of industry promotion, legislative agenda and exchange of information.

 

Why Participate in Green 4G?

 

A Definition of Green 4G:  The design, deployment and use of (next generation) wireless networks to reduce environment impacts in ways that are enabling of business, government, and individual well-being.

Key Methods of Achieving Green 4G:

  1. Design and deployment of wireless networks

    1. Low power base stations & remote stations/nodes and subscriber devices
    2. Distributed and alternative power sources

                 i.     Solar power

                 ii.     Fuel-cells

                iii.     Co-generation  

Use of wireless for power monitoring, distribution and

load-shedding

  2. Use of NG Communication to Reduce Environmental Impacts

    1. Bridge the acknowledged gap to achieving the following

                  i.     Greater use of telecommuting

                 ii.     Video and on-site teleconferencing

                iii.     Paperless office

                iv.     Higher use of ridesharing and car pooling

                 v.     More efficient use of transportation via data rich GPS-mapping

 

This outline only scratches the surface of individual developments and combinations of efforts that are within the embrace of the concept of using next generation wireless as the ‘information super highway’. These benefit from the combination of always-on connectivity, reasonable cost rich media and data services, and creative programs and SaaS and location aware and social networking capabilities.

 

Why companies and individuals should support Green 4G as an industry effort:

  • To promote the more effective harnessing of communications
  • To develop a cohesive legislative agenda
    • Energy/CO2 offsets
    • Standards, guidelines and linkage with government planning and transportation facilities and programs
    • To make the voice of the industry heard above the roar of incumbent and alternative (and often less immediate and mutually beneficial) interests
  • To promote self-interests
    • Being Green is good marketing and now is the time to grab the competitive differentiation
    • Cutting power and transportation reduces internal costs
    • Cutting power and transportation costs is beneficial to customers
    • As an ‘organizing principle’ for social networking on wireless
