Energy Efficiency<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

With more data being transferred across mobile networks, demand for energy is increasing each year. This threatens operator energy efficiency and carbon reduction targets. While energy costs are a significant proportion of operator\u2019s Operational Expenditure (OpEx), it is also an area with many opportunities for OpEx savings with targeted Capital Expenditure (CapEx) on energy efficiency measures.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
