Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs launched a Green touch, a project aimed at making communication networks 1,000 times more energy-efficient.Founding members of the project include service providers such as AT &T; research laboratories such as MIT Research Lab for electronics and Bell Labs? And the government and nonprofit research institutions such as the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control.
The project hopes to deliver a network architecture reference to prove the essential elements required for it until 2015.
Reach Out and Green Something
Green Touch bases 1000 times better energy efficiency research Bell Labs. The laboratory analyzed the information and communication technology (ICT) networks, technologies and architecture.
Bell Labs then applied the Shannon-Hartley theorem of its findings. Roughly speaking, the theorem describes the maximum bandwidth available for transmission by adding the value of the signal encoding and the value of noise or interference.
Founding members of the Project Green Touch from various countries. Service provider members include AT & T, the China Mobile, by Portugal Telecom, Swisscom, Switzerland provider, and global telecommunications giant Telefonica. Members of the academic research laboratory is the MIT Research Laboratory of Electronics, Wireless Stanford University in Systems Laboratory and the University of Melbourne Institute for broadband-enabled society.
Government and nonprofit research institution shall be the CEA-LETI Applied Research Institute of Microelectronics and the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA). Industrial members of the laboratory, except for Bell Labs is the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology and Freescale Semiconductor.
The project has also received expressions of support from the United States Energy Secretary Steven Chu and the British, French, South Korea and Portugal.
The Green Touch Vision
By 2015, the Green Touch Project aims to deliver the architecture, standards and roadmap to reduce the energy consumption of communication networks at the rate of 1,000 per user from current levels. It also plans to demonstrate key elements of it.
"It's a really aggressive program," Gee Rittenhouse, head of research at Alcatel-Lucent (NYSE: ALU) Bell Laboratories, told the E-Commerce Times. "We have five years to demonstrate these technologies."
Bell Labs is open for membership of the project Green Touch. Why not get other carriers, governments and organizations on board before the announcement of the project? "It takes a lot of time to plan a project of this size, and much time wasted on this," Rittenhouse explained. "With something that is this broad and complex, rather than trying to work with all elements that will take forever, would be representation from each of the constituencies to our members and, with a smaller group, I can build something that can prove.
It expects membership to grow over time.
We are the green world
The Green Touch project should not have trouble getting buy-in, Rob Enderle, principal analyst at Enderle Group, told the E-Commerce times. "Governments want this trend to a large extent, I would expect that they will have no problem getting on board," he stressed. "It may come to be simply a problem of keeping people who must approve announcements to a manageable level."
