ZTE Fixed-Line Broadband Green Solution

In the past decade, the IT industry has succeeded in dramatically reducing employee commuting and business travel by using online communications. However, the strong growth of the telecom industry, and increased equipment obsolescence have caused a dramatic rise in the amount of electronic waste worldwide. The exponential growth of data traffic is driving telecom operators to expand and upgrade their communication infrastructures, which requires a vast expenditure in terms of capital investment, manpower and material resources. The additional employees necessary for network expansion and maintenance may increase carbon footprints and energy consumption brought about by commuting, and heating, cooling and powering the office space. Therefore, how to go green in infrastructure construction is a big challenge for telecom operators.

ZTE Broadband Green Solution

As a responsible corporate in communications industry, ZTE has been very early aware of the importance of being green. In all of the aspects, from R & D, production to supply, ZTE has implemented its green philosophy.

As an important part of ZTE Green family, fixed-line broadband products’ green features show as the following aspects:

  • Optimized design for energy saving and emission reduction
    ZTE's fixed-line broadband products have been optimized at the initial design stage with the concerns of energy saving and emission reduction, fundamentally having the power consumption, heat, noise, bandwidth and environmental adaptability under the control, trying to reduce the pollution of the environment to a minimum.
    • Adopting the industry's highest density chips, which greatly enhance operational efficiency and reduce power consumption;
    • High-density and high-integration: the capacity of board and sub rack gets to be greatly increased, and the users’ ability of access significantly improve to meet the requirements of the large capacity and wide coverage;
    • Optimize power management to improve the power conversion efficiency;
    • Optimize PCB design to effectively enhance cooling efficiency and reduce power consumption;
    • Intelligently Monitor the work status of ports, modules and boards and turn off or sleep non-working ports, modules, and plate;
    • Speed-adjustable fan or no-fan design and natural ventilation, hence, power consumption, heat and noise are significantly reduced;
    • Improved airing design of sub rack and rack design to increase  fan efficiency by 40 percent and significantly reduce the noise.
  • Making maintenance easy and reducing OpEx
    This feature is mainly embodied in operation and maintenance time savings and the difficulty reducing, at the same time allows users more convenient and easy to operate.
    • NetNumen N31 management system provides a friendly GUI interface, so that operation is simple and convenient, time-saving and the operational difficulty is significantly reduced;
    • Support batch configuration, plug-and-play terminal device, without configuration in user side, and equipment and service automatic opening;
    • Easyservice O&M system features comprehensive management capabilities to implement fault diagnosis of the remote equipment and troubleshooting, network monitoring and maintenance, fault self-diagnosis in user side;
    • Significantly reduce the workload of remote management and upgrade.
  • Saving space and cutting investment
    This feature is embodied in saving machine frame, rack / cabinets, plant rooms and other public resources as well as the corresponding ancillary facilities such as ODF, Box, cable, etc. Furthermore while protecting existing investment; the follow-up expansion becomes easy and feasible.
    • High-density, highly integrated single board design to save machine frame, rack resources;
    • Integrated rack having the main equipment, power supply and cabling included in, reducing the quantity of equipment and rack to save room space;
    • Supporting flexible mixed plug-in of a wide range of service boards;
    • Diverse outdoor cabinets, suitable for fast deployment in the process of fiber advance and copper retreat;
    • Lengthen life cycle to protect investment.
  • Harmless products and green materials
    ZTE's fixed-line broadband products are strictly compliant with the international standards in terms of the raw material selection, production process, packaging and transport and other flows, the use of harmless materials in the phases of production and design, to eliminate the environment pollution and damage to the human body from the source.
    • RoHS, CE, EMC and NEBS Certification;
    • ISO14004/1400 environmental protection certification;
    • Low CO2, SO2, NO2, H2S and other harmful gas emissions;
    • Low noise, high temperature adaptive.

ZTE has consistently uphold the concept of green environmental protection and put it into practical action at the Product Design and production aspects. In April,2008, in SOFNET high-end forum by the International Engineering Consortium IEC, ZTE Broadband Access Products ZXDSL 9806H, with its low-power, low OpEx, low noise, high reliability, high integration and other advantages, was successfully awarded "Best Green Innovation" awards amid intense competition with many other vendors. This shown that ZTE’s effort to build up green communication gained high recognition from the industry.
