Enterprise 2.0/Government 2.0, telecommuting and similar efforts are not working as well as Image00154.pngthey could because of the perception and reality that control is lost when people are out of touch.  Attempts to organize business and government around information rather than static location fails to the extent that the communication is not immediate , rich and pervasive.

The only way this gap can be filed is by the use of wireless broadband.  No wired network has the degree of immediacy and flexibility that brings people and information together.. that molds information and computing environments to the user.  No system that works via fixed location can become the 'information super highway' that can replace the need to commute or that will fit lifestyle to work in the Information Age.

Widely available IP based broadband wireless access fills the gap between business and government operations that occur within the domain of the organization and those that occur in the field and among telecommuters.

 The major reasons why Enterprise 2.0/Government 2.0, telecommuting and similar efforts to organize around information rather than central location organized work flows is that the immediacy and availability of information and rich media access has been lacking.  What fills the gap is giving individuals real-time, everywhere access.  This bridges the gap between office and remote location and opens up many opportunities for better connecting with customers and government clients.

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
