In Energy Efficient Transport for Modern Networks, Heavy Reading (now part of Omdia) explores how you can reduce energy consumption across your transport network while meeting growing traffic demands. As network power costs rise faster than revenue, managing CAPEX and OPEX has become a top priority. At the same time, your organization is likely working toward sustainability and carbon-reduction goals that make energy-efficient network designs essential.
This white paper examines how advancements in hardware, software, and architecture can help you modernize your network for lower power per bit. Coherent optics play a key role in improving energy efficiency and simplifying architectures. Developments in the photonic layer extend capacity while reducing power consumption. Automation, AI, and predictive analytics software help you optimize traffic engineering, network design, and energy performance. Modern OTN innovations further enhance power, space, and cost efficiency.
Together, these advancements create a practical roadmap to help you build an energy-efficient transport network that balances performance, sustainability, and scalability—supporting your operational goals today and your net-zero objectives for tomorrow.
