Telcos accelerate efforts to support the green network

Orange is one of the telcos at the forefront of green network innovation, and is a major supporter of industry-wide efforts to improve energy efficiency and accelerate the journey towards being net zero.

Laurent Leboucher, group CTO of Orange and SVP of Orange Innovation Networks, discusses how the attitude towards green networks from its partners, suppliers and customers has changed significantly in recent years. An encouraging development, but how does a telco get all of its suppliers - hundreds, maybe thousands, of them - to conform with their targets? What does it need to measure and monitor to improve power efficiency? And how can telcos use their own technologies and skills to help with the journey towards achieving a green network?
