Verizon Tests Motorola's Energy-Efficient sTB -- 30% Power Savings

Verizon is testing new set-top boxes from Motorola that are up to 30 percent more energy efficient than current models, with one new model offering double the amount of storage capacity for digital video recordings.


Verizon will begin trialing the two new models, the Motorola QIP7232 and Motorola QIP7100, in select FiOS TV markets later this year. The QIP7232, the DVR model, boasts a faster processor and more memory.


"The new green Motorola set-tops are an outgrowth of Verizon's efforts to create our own industry-leading energy-efficiency standards and to grow our business responsibly," said James Gowen, chief sustainability officer for Verizon. "These set-tops will provide a better viewing and multimedia experience for our customers, while helping them lower their energy consumption and utility bills."http://www.verizon.com
