Global Warming And Green Communication In Wireless Networks

Across the developed and developing world, wireless communications has proven a necessity. There seems no end in sight to the proliferation of mobile communications as over 120,000 new base stations are deployed yearly, and there is growth across every demographic from teenagers to businessmen. The developing world has turned to wireless communications as a leap frog technology past wired communications which spurs its growth even more. This meteoric rise in users and data demand alone does not create a crisis; however when one evaluates the communications ecosystem from a carbon footprint and energy cost perspective, the results are startling. A medium sized cellular network uses as much energy as 170,000 homes. While the cost of powering the needed base stations accounts for a staggering 50% of a service provider’s overall expenses. This impact is magnified by the requirement for expensive ‘dirty’ diesel fuel for many locations in developing regions.

Energy consumption, waste disposal, and accelerating levels of green house gases (GHG) emissions, including CO₂, are reaching unsustainable levels.  Which are the main causes of Global Warming!!

In order to solve these issues, concept of Green Communication arise which primarily aims to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon footprints from environment.

Hope this effort will help to save environment and reduce global warming

Hope for the best :)
