[Istanbul, Turkey, April 21, 2015] Huawei today introduced its "Maximizing Energy Efficiency" methodology at the 7th Annual Telecoms Energy Efficiency Forum. Aimed at supporting carriers with assessing how energy efficient their networks are, the methodology reviews all components and the communications system. The findings from the assessment support carriers with improving network energy efficiency and building green Mobile Broadband (MBB) networks.

At the two-day conference, Huawei shared its "Maximizing Energy Efficiency" methodology, drawn from an in-depth understanding of ICT infrastructure and customer requirements. The rise of Big Data and mobile Internet has resulted new requirements for carrier business, increasing the number of sites required to meet the demands from MBB development. The MBB sites consume large amounts of energy, squeezing carriers’ profits, making energy efficiency a key concern. The Huawei methodology defines energy efficiency standards and formulates a hierarchical energy efficiency management model. The methodology has already been implemented in Huawei's Multiple Telecommunication System (MTS) solution. In this solution, energy and telecom equipment has been integrated to simplify site deployment and improve overall energy efficiency. In addition to making solutions more energy efficient, the methodology also resolves a range of issues including, identifying multiple fault sources, and reducing operation and maintenance costs.

During the forum, Huawei also showcased a range of network energy solutions and end-to-end high- efficiency site solutions, including the new-generation MTS solution, data center energy solution, uninterruptible power system (UPS) solution, and antenna solutions. These solutions also help carriers to reduce operational expenses, and help them save energy and reduce emissions. In addition to presenting their range of solutions, Huawei also participated in keynote speeches, forum exchanges and one-on-one discussions with global customers on their latest news their energy research and cutting-edge technologies.

The 7th Annual Telecoms Energy Efficiency Forum brings together leading telecom network providers with specialist technology and service providers to discuss key energy efficiency and sustainability drivers shaping the industry. Huawei is a platinum sponsor of the event held in Istanbul, Turkey, April 20-21, 2015.
