Abstract
Numerous telecommunications carriers have now taken a stand with respect to energy efficiency in telecommunications equipment. Equipment now has restriction in terms of total power per throughput, Watts per Gigabit per second, for example. Are the requirements too stringent or not stringent enough? Does it impact optical network architecture choices? Will it impact the direction of technology innovation? In this presentation we will review the new requirements and assess their implications on network equipment, with a particular focus on optical subsystems. Article not available.
