For the Telecommunications Industry

The proliferation of the Internet, high-definition television, wireless communication devices and other data-hungry technologies is forcing the issue of environmentally responsible energy consumption to the forefront of the telecommunications industry. Many experts now believe the world's ability to generate electricity may soon be eclipsed by the power needed to process its growing demand for digital information.

One major contributor to this crisis is the high amount of energy waste built in to most telecommunications centers. It is estimated that up to 60% of the energy used in the industry is lost, devoted to cooling servers and other equipment rather than to operating them.

Eaton offers a variety of products and support services to minimize these inefficiencies and make telecommunications equipment and facilities "greener" including a global collaboration with fuel cell manufacturer Altergy to provide fuel cell power solutions for telecommunications and other premium power and mission-critical applications. With the help of our experts and equipment, you can design an integrated energy management program that maximizes Power Usage Effectiveness by systematically coordinating the delivery of electrical power to servers as well as extraneous support devices such as chillers, computer room air-conditioners, DX air-handler units, pumps, cooling towers and computer room lighting.
