AT&T has joined the U.S. Department of Energy's Save Energy Now LEADER initiative, which asks that companies pledge to reduce their energy intensity by 25 percent or more during the next 10 years.
Save Energy Now LEADER is a national public-private initiative to drive energy intensity and carbon emission reductions across the U.S. industrial sector. AT&T is among more than 30 companies making this initial pledge to reduce energy intensity.
Over the next 12 months, pledge signatories agree to take the following additional steps toward greater energy efficiency:
Save Energy Now LEADER is a national public-private initiative to drive energy intensity and carbon emission reductions across the U.S. industrial sector. AT&T is among more than 30 companies making this initial pledge to reduce energy intensity.
Over the next 12 months, pledge signatories agree to take the following additional steps toward greater energy efficiency:
- Establish energy use and energy intensity baselines
- Develop an energy management plan
- Report changes in energy intensity, energy use data and achievements annually to DOE .
Earlier this year, AT&T announced a goal to reduce energy usage intensity by 15 percent in 2009, relative to data growth on its network. AT&T has taken a number of steps over the past year to reduce energy consumption, including introducing a series of efficiency-focused initiatives around AT&T's datacenters, network and facilities.
Recently, AT&T appointed its first director of energy, John Schinter.
AT&T has also joined The Green Grid, a global consortium dedicated to advancing energy efficiency in data centers and business computing ecosystems. In addition, AT&T supplies data center performance information to assist the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in developing a new ENERGY STAR rating for data center efficiency.

The design leverages a high-speed on-chip network for sharing information between the fully-programmable Intel cores, along with newly invented power management techniques that allow all 48 cores to operate extremely energy efficiently at as little as 25 watts, or at 125 watts when running at maximum performance.
For its part, Nokia expects its mobile device volume market share to be flat in 2010, compared to 2009. At its annual Capital Markets Day event in Helsinki, Nokia also predicted lower average selling price (ASP) erosion of its mobile devices in 2010, compared to recent years. To combat these trends, Nokia is pushing ahead with new valued-added services, including its ovi store for mobile applications, as well as initiatives such as mobile banking aimed at developing markets.
has deployed a Cisco Internet Protocol Next-Generation Network (IP NGN) based on Cisco optical networking and routing technologies. Kazakhtelecom's IP/MPLS core infrastructure in Almaty runs on the Cisco CRS-1 Carrier Routing System platform. The next-generation optical transport network is based on DWDM infrastructure, equipped with the Cisco ONS 15454 Multiservice Transport Platform. Project design and implementation was carried out by the specialists of AMT Group, a Cisco Gold Certified Partner, based in Moscow. Financial terms were not disclosed.
