ALCATEL-LUCENT Energy Efficient Networks to Enable Sustainable Information-Based Societies
OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Why it matters?
Digital economies
Rural inclusion
Climate change
Ben Verwaayen | “The world is having a lot of challenges at this moment. One of them, one of the most important one, is to transform our economies from physical economies to digital economies, to be inclusive for the rural world and to tackle climate change.As an industry we can contribute. As a society we need to take advantage”
OUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Going Green: next revolution of 21st century?
ECONOMIC DRIVER
“How do we get Green out of the talking shop into reality? Remember the Internet in the 80's? When so many went into their garages and invented the world we are now used to? Well, Green can be the same motor for innovation. Again the sound of excitement out of the garages will inspire a new wave of economic growth.”

MAJOR INITIATIVES: lightRadio™Alcatel-Lucent maps the future of mobile technology
“lightRadio”™ is a revolutionary, multi-technology product family that completely changes the face of the radio access network (RAN)
• Improves the environment: reduces energy consumption of mobile networks by up to 50%
• Addresses global digital divide: easy creation of broadband coverage virtually anywhere there is power (electricity, sun, wind)
• Offers major savings for operators: potential reduction of total cost of ownership (TCO) of mobile networks up to 50% “lightRadio is a smart solution to a tough
set of problems: high energy costs, the explosion of video on mobile, and connecting the unconnected.”Ben Verwaayen, CEO of Alcatel-Lucent
