Overview
As the transition from 4G to 5G accelerates, the energy consumption of data centers has skyrocketed, becoming the second-largest consumer of energy in mobile networks. The ongoing rise of AI, cloud computing, and network virtualization makes the need for sustainability metrics more critical, particularly as the industry looks toward 6G.
In this one-hour webinar, expert panelists discuss the key findings from the Next G Alliance’s latest white paper, Evolution of Sustainability Indicators for Data Centers and Next Generation Core Networks. The white paper outlines a comprehensive sustainability framework that includes:
- Metrics for energy efficiency, greenhouse gas emissions, water conservation, waste reduction, and ecosystem impacts.
- The promotion of circular economy principles such as reuse, repair, and recyclability in network infrastructure and data centers.
- Practical steps toward achieving Net Zero emissions by 2050.
