This study compares the BaseT and Passive Optical (POL) in local area networks energy
consumption, in order to verify if it is economically advantageous to replace the BaseT …

A passive optical network (PON) has provided a better solution in network communication
due to its capability of delivering a high volume of bandwidth and speed. However, it is …

ICTs account nowadays for 2% of total carbon emissions. However, in a time when strict
measures to reduce energy consumption in all the industrial and services sectors are …

A continual increase in bandwidth consumption stimulates the need for next generation
optical access (NGOA) networks, which should also conform to the societal green agenda …

Being as power-efficient as possible is becoming an issue of increasing importance in
optical networks due to the continuous increase of requested capacity resulting from the …

Energy efficiency has become an increasingly important aspect of designing access
networks, due to both increased concerns for global warming and increased network costs …

In this paper, new home network equipment alternatives for Passive Optical Networks (PON)
are analyzed in terms of energy efficiency. Regarding Optical Network Terminations (ONT) …

The presented paper is a techno-economic feasibility study to use solar energy as a
renewable energy to power the Passive Optical Network (PON). This discussion focuses on …

Accurate and precise measurement of energy consumption for the deployment of fiber-to-the-
home (FTTH) network using Gigabit passive optical network (GPON) is vital to the research …

Band division multiplexing is proposed in this work as a cost-effective strategy to cope with
