Green 4G Alliance is a non-profit professional and educational association that promotes the effective and ethical use of wireless broadband technologies and integrated multi-discipline communications to increase the understanding and use of communications to reduce dependence on greenhouse gas producing fossil fuels. It is a multidisciplinary association where professionals from all parts of the communications, entertainment and IT communities can come together and share concerns and ideas and promote creative and cost effective solutions Over the past several years, wireless systems and deployment methods have evolved to become enablers of new modes of business and government organization and lifestyle change that have among benefits the ability, if used as such, to reduce environmental impacts. The Green 4G Alliance includes participation from countries worldwide. Our Goals:
Modern society has grown through stages of technology development that has brought many positive and some negative impacts. The course of these developments has led developed economies from labor intensive occupations to a highly information, entertainment and relationships based society. From fundamental industries such as agriculture and manufacturing to service and entertainment industries, the means of accomplishing work and seeking self-satisfaction has become centered around automation, information and communications. Our cities have grown up organically from central hubs of manufacture which drew in rural workers to do manual labor to centers for congregation of information workers, most who commute from the sprawling suburbs. The automobile has matured into a central focus for economic activity, persona, and organization of society. Even though the effects of pollution have been understood to be harmful, it is only in recent years that the consensus of the world's scientists have raised ominous flags of concern that our addiction to the automobile and other consumption habits that drive the use and discarding of the products of fossil fuels threatens the economic fiber and well being of the entire society. |

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
