Phone companies slash carbon footprint with green phone solution

Green phones

Cut the CO2

Avaya and this year's favourite technology partner, Extreme Networks, have launched green telephony solutions that save as much as 75 per cent of the energy normally burnt keeping phone systems going.

Go Green IP telephony solution is set to reduce UK businesses carbon footprint through dramatically reducing electricity usage of its phones, with energy savings between 50 and 75 percent compared to the current solution.

The new Go Green solution – built around Extreme Networks’ ExtremeXOS Universal Port Automation technology and Avaya’s Power over Ethernet (PoE) efficient Gigabit Ethernet Deskphones – powers down phones when not in use, offering the potential for significant cost and environmental savings.

“Through the automated power down of a block of IP phones in areas of the building not regularly used at night or weekends, companies can save money and do their bit for the environment in one go,” explains Extreme Networks regional director Paul Phillips.

Extreme Networks scooped the Technology Partner award at Avaya’s yearly EMEA Business Partner Conference recently held in Paris. The company was recognised with this award for its advanced data equipment and business performance throughout 2007.
