Environmental concerns, regulation and unstable energy prices have led to fixed and mobile network carriers looking to reduce the carbon footprint and energy consumption of their networks. Coupled with the increasing need to locate access equipment in areas without an ¡°on grid¡± power source, there is now a significant trend for base station, CO equipment and CPE suppliers to develop more energy efficient products and to use renewable energy sources to power ¡°off grid¡± equipment.
The study provides the following:
• Complete reference work to enable readers to understand the major trends in the power consumption and the use of renewable energy in the wireless access, fixed access and broadband CPE markets. • The market statistics use 2008 as the base year, and provide forecasts from 2009 up to 2014. • The world market for base stations in terms of sites installed, their power usage and their use of renewable energy is presented. • The report examines how energy efficiency will impact the fixed access and CPE markets over the next five years. • Power supplies used to power base stations, base station controllers, access equipment and broadband CPE are also examined.
Some of the key market breakdowns are as follows:
• By Wireless Access Site Type (GSM, CDMA, W-CDMA, BSC/RNC, WiMAX, LTE, and TD-SCDMA). • By Renewable Power Source (Solar Powered, Hybrid Solar/Diesel, Wind Powered, Hybrid Wind/Diesel, Fuel Cell Powered, Hybrid Other, Hybrid Solar/Mains, Hybrid Wind/Mains, and Hybrid Other/Mains). • By CPE Product Type (ONTs/ONUs, ADSL Modems, ADSL Gateway/IAD, VDSL Modems, VDSL Gateway/IAD, Cable Modem, Cable Gateway/EMTA, and Access Points/Routers). • By Broadband Access Product Type (OLT Ports, DSLAM Ports, and CMTS Ports). • By Power Supply (AC/DC Rectifiers, DC/DC Converters, and Power Adapters). • Covering Three Geographic Regions.
