Ericsson confirms its carrier IP edge and metro service equipment deliver lowest energy consumption

Ericsson today confirmed its network IP edge and metro platforms deliver the industry’s lowest energy consumption based on new metrics that measure how efficiently they can provide subscriber services, such as residential Triple Play. The new metrics, which go beyond how much power a platform or port consumes, are more in line with how service providers monetize their business and plan infrastructure investments. With energy usage accounting for up to 50 percent of an operator’s operating expenses, energy costs continuing to rise, and IP technology delivering new bandwidth-intensive services to an ever-growing number of fixed and mobile subscribers, service providers need greater insight into how specific platforms use energy and where to find efficiencies without impacting service. Since the IP edge and metro Ethernet platforms are responsible for aligning, shaping and monitoring subscriber traffic and the circuits that deliver that traffic, they are the logical hot spots for service providers to target.
