ConnectiviTree: Infrastructure sharing for energy efficiency

There are multiple ways to make the network more energy efficient. Sharing the network infrastructure is one of them – one that is more dependent on business models than on technology compared to, say, chipset energy efficiency. As a result, it requires a different approach to sustainability.

In this conversation with Mark Gilmour, CTO at ConnectiviTree, we talked about how to approach energy efficiency at the end-to-end network level, including infrastructure sharing and carbon credits.

This is an area where there is much innovation in terms of business models and where operators have the flexibility to manage their energy strategy. But alongside many opportunities lies a complexity in assessing their contribution and, more generally, in measuring progress toward sustainability and energy efficiency.
