Abstract

Energy efficiency concerns are arising in many fields. In communications networks such concerns are not only related to the goal of decreasing green house gas (GHG) emissions but also to the objective of decreasing operating expenditures (OPEX). This paper provides a (partial) overview of initiatives in Italian research centers and Italian telecommunication companies to decrease communications network energy consumption. The paper particularly focuses on wired networks and data center networks.
