Introduction
The increasing interaction between the different elements of the Information Communication Technology (ICT) sector
(hardware, middleware, software and services) supports the concept of convergence in which:
• multi-service packages can be delivered over a common infrastructure;
• a variety of infrastructures is able to deliver these packages;
• a single multi-service-package may be delivered over different infrastructures.
As a result of this convergence, the development of new services, applications and content has resulted in an increased
demand for bandwidth, reliability, quality and performance, with a consequent increase in the demand for power which
has implications for cost and, in some cases, availability. It is therefore important to maximize the energy efficiency of
all the network elements necessary to deliver the required services.
New technologies and infrastructure strategies are expected to enable operators to decrease the energy consumption, for
a given level of service, of their existing and future infrastructures thus decreasing their costs. This requires a common
understanding among market participants that only standards can produce.
The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable which has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee
Access, Terminals,Transmission and Multiplexing (ATTM) in close collaboration with CENELEC via the
Co-ordination Group on Installations and Cabling (CGIC). It offers a contribution to the required standardization
process by establishing an initial basis for work on ICT networks and transmission engineering, with active
collaboration from a number of other ETSI and CENELEC Technical Bodies. When complete, the multi-part
deliverable will contain information that has been jointly evolved to present developments in installations and
transmission implementation, and describing their progress towards energy efficiency in next generation
networks (NGN).
It is intended that all the documents mentioned in the foreword and more fully described in clause 7 will be produced as
soon as the workload allows. The initial activity is outlined in informative annex C, which will be revised from time to
time. The multi-part deliverable will contain a high level analysis of broadband deployment and multi-service
implementation, explaining the various optical fibre access network infrastructure architectures (FTTx) required to
deliver efficient broadband services to customer premises and the associated difficulties, for example, the impact on
implementation created by legislation and regulation of the operator environment.
In order to monitor the implementation and operation of energy efficient broadband deployment, certain documents will
also discuss Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for energy efficiency and focus on the possible consequences of
standardization of installations, cabling techniques and equipment. In particular, the study will investigate possibilities
and suggest solutions for development of processes for optimization in installation techniques and energy consumption.

1 Scope
The present document gives an overview of this multi-part deliverable covering energy efficiency and broadband
deployment. Clauses 2 and 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 5 describes the network sub-systems applicable to broadband deployment and their interconnections.
Clause 6 considers the measures which may be taken to maximize energy efficiency of the end-to-end network and
introduces the concept of key performance indicators (KPI) to enable consistent monitoring of energy efficiency for
each of the network sub-systems described in clause 4.
Clause 7 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 4:
• 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 power 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.
The present document also contains informative annexes which may later be deleted and/or the information transferred
to other parts of the multi-part deliverable set.
