Electricity saving (OPEX)

CO2 cumulative saving during 2010-2014 in
European customer case can be up to 590 tons
Footprint saving can help on site rental costs and
delaying the needed site expansion investments
(*) Depending of the final configuration

POTS Switching allows significant reduction of IP/MPLS network CAPEX and OPEX!
