The World Needs a Smart New Way to Develop That is Both Ecological and Economically Beneficial.

 The power and flexibility of 'always on' wireless broadband everywhere provides the means to restructure society away from the destructive developments of the post industrial age,  Various reports conclude that up to 80% of Greenhouse Gases  are created  by urban populations and over 70% of that is caused by commuting between urban sprawl areas in and out of cities. The majority of jobs in cities are service related: most jobs involve either information work or are cater to information iworkers. 

 

Wireless brings information to the worker rather than bringing the worker to centralized locations.  4G will enable high resolution video communications, virtual learning and meeting capabilities combined with finger tips access to the world-wide resources of the Internet.  What's more, 4G will bring a new dimension of location based access and personalization of information that not only replaces the need to commute but provides efficeincy and relevancy advantages which compel businesses and individuals to operate locally.  If there were noCommunity Help.png problems of Global Warming to compel organization around 4Gs capabilities, these advantages would compel change in themselves.  But Global Warming, the digital divide and other problems that detract from or threaten the very existance of society are the challenge we all now face. 

 

Join Green4G in our effort to inform the industry, the community and government about how 4G wireless can be used by companies, governments and indivduals to reduce commuting and build more productive and enjoyable lifestyles.

 

 Wireless and wirelessly enabled companies  have an opportunity to promote the emerging 4G industrty as a way forward to a new way of doing business and organizing lifestyles that shifts from an over-dependence on the automobile and environmental impacts.  

 

4G has the potential to influence economic activity and peronal enjoyment by bringing work to the worker, creation of information and entertainment to a more personal basis.

 

4G is a major theme of The Way Forward to reduce greenhouse gasses and other polution without sacrificing standard of living.

 

Our Mission:

 

  •  Educate local, state, regional and national government of the need to promote, regulate, and make use favorable to 4G  
  • Provide an information resource for products, demonstration projects, white papers, consultants and symposium
  • Provide a sounding board for people in the industry who are developing Green4G products and marketing efforts
  • Provide a sounding board for service providers and corporate and government users for their experiences, programs and services that reduce environemental impact through the use of 4G woreless
  • Promote bridging of the 'broadband infomration divide' that has led to a greater diversion between the standards of living of 'technology haves and have nots'.

Join Green4G Today!

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

  1. 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
