Access@ Terminals@ Transmission and Multiplexing (ATTM); Broadband Deployment and Energy Management; Part 1: Overview@ common and generic aspects (V1.2.1)
"The present document gives an overview of this multi-part deliverable covering energy management and broadband deployment. Clause 2 and clause 3 contain references@ definitions and abbreviations which relate to this part; similar information will be included in the corresponding clauses of the other parts@ thus ensuring that each document can be used on a ""stand-alone"" basis. Clause 6 describes the network sub-systems applicable to broadband deployment and their interconnections. Clause 7 considers the measures which may be taken to optimize energy management of the end-to-end network and introduces the concept of key performance indicators (KPI) to enable consistent monitoring of energy management for each of the network sub-systems described in clause 5. Clause 8 contains details of the subsequent parts and sub-parts of this multi-part deliverable which@ for each of the network sub-systems described in clause 5: identify the standardization bodies working on the design and installation of the cabling within and between the network sub-systems and the relevant interfaces; provide a more strategic analysis of energy consumption trends@ in a range of different broadband deployment scenarios; outline further work needed to ensure the improvement of energy efficiency in communication networks. This will enable the proper implementation of services@ applications and content using an energy efficient infrastructure@ though it is not the goal of this multi-part deliverable to provide detailed standardized solutions for the power distribution systems or physical design of data centres."
