The GSMA\u2019s Mobile Energy Efficiency Benchmarking methodology has been recognised in a global standard by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The GSMA\u2019s methodology, which benchmarks the energy efficiency of mobile networks, is included in the ITU\u2019s standard ITU-T L.1410 \u2018Methodology for Environmental Impact Assessment of ICT Goods, Networks and Services\u2019. The GSMA developed its methodology as part of the Mobile Energy Efficiency (MEE) Network Benchmarking service, launched a year ago at Mobile Asia Congress 2010. MEE has now been adopted by 35 mobile network operators who run more than 200 networks across 145 countries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe recognition of our methodology in a global standard is a testament to the outstanding collaboration the GSMA has with its members and other stakeholders such as the ITU and European Commission,\u201d said Gabriel Solomon, Head of Regulatory Policy, GSMA. \u201cWe have developed a unique management tool that mobile operators are using to identify energy and carbon saving opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted with the timely outcome of a complex process. The ITU maintains a first-rate working relationship with the GSMA, and many other partners, aimed at achieving a definitive set of methodologies to measure the environmental impact of ICTs,\u201d said Mr. Malcolm Johnson, Director, ITU Telecommunication Standardization Bureau.<\/p>\n

To leverage the results of the MEE Benchmarking service, the GSMA has launched a new service, MEE Optimisation, which undertakes a detailed bottom-up analysis to identify and assess the inefficiencies of a network, to then provide operators with a cost-benefit analysis of specific solutions that can be considered to improve network energy efficiency. The MEE Optimisation service develops detailed action plans aimed at reducing operators\u2019 energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. To do this, the GSMA partners with third parties such as equipment vendors to deliver the MEE Optimisation service to operators. The GSMA is currently piloting the first MEE Optimisation project and is in discussions with several members about rolling out the service more widely.<\/p>\n
