The open, IP wireless 4G personal broadband evolution represented by WiMAX (and LTE) developments are, in their very nature, "Green Technologies". Green4G Personal Broadband Information Superhighway 4G links people to information used in work and play where they are. This is the missing link to the vision of creating a more environmentally responsible society. What is more, the vision is for creating a more profitable, and long term society that also has personal benefits of less wasted time, stress, and money. There is no compromise for being environmentally responsible. In fact, Green4G makes sense from a practical standpoint alone. Green4G is what is needed to fully implement Enterprise/Government 2.0 that have been shown to make good 'business sense'. 4G Personal Broadband is the pivotal bridge the gap that has exists between the post-industrial age world and the Information Age society. We can now end over dependence on the automobile and move to an information and interpersonal relationship flow based society. Various efforts have been heralded such as the 'paperless office' and Enterprise 2.0 which envision fashioning organizations and personal activity around information and relationships rather than upon location. Where these efforts have proven to break down is in delivering an always on personal level of communications similar to the centralized office experience. 4G personal broadband removes the remaining barriers of employees and employers being always accountable and in touch with a similar degree of rich communications. The remaining obstacle to a society based on the 'Green4G Personal Broadband Information Superhighway' is government and corporate action. 4G ushers in 'personal broadband' that is able to be always on, always with you. That brings information within the intimate control of individuals and organizations on a basis that is much more practical and cost effective than previous telecommunications systems. And because 4G is, in part, an extension of the open IP based broadband Internet, this brings a rich development environment for content and programs. Maravedis Telecommunications Research, research projects a rapid increase in users of wireless broadband and increased number of programs and usage patterns that wil develop. |

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.
:
-
Design and deployment of wireless networks
- Low power base stations & remote stations/nodes and subscriber devices
- Distributed and alternative power sources
i. Solar power
ii. Fuel-cells
iii. Co-generation
Use of wireless for power monitoring, distribution and
load-shedding
-
-
Use of NG Communication to Reduce Environmental Impacts
- 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
