What we can achieve together
- Reduce energy consumption through high-density, energy-efficient network equipment.
- Decrease operational expenses (OPEX) by retiring large, custom silicon routers.
- Lower capital expenditures (CAPEX) by avoiding costly replacements of complex legacy systems.
- Enhance network efficiency by optimizing existing infrastructure instead of retrofitting or replacing it.
- Enable smarter networks with analytics to identify under-utilized resources.
Telenor’s objective
One of your primary objectives is to maximize environmental sustainability by reducing energy consumption and shifting to green energy wherever possible. The key to achieving these goals is optimizing your infrastructure and decommissioning any non-efficient equipment, leveraging energy-efficient technologies and making your overall network smarter and more intuitive.
The challenges you face
The demand for data and connectivity keeps growing, which means higher energy use. This puts pressure on you to reduce your carbon footprint while maintaining service quality. Together, we can evolve and scale your network to deliver more bandwidth while using less space and power. This aligns with your goal of reducing GHG emissions by 64% by 2030 and achieving carbon-neutral operations in the Nordics.
We understand that some older systems weren't designed with energy efficiency in mind. Instead of costly and complex retrofits, we offer solutions that can optimize these systems effectively. Our network equipment excels in density and energy efficiency, helping you upgrade and maintain your infrastructure successfully.
How Ciena can support
By partnering with Ciena, you can continue to lead in sustainability, supporting the Paris Agreement goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C. Our goal is to help you reach these ambitious targets and drive a climate agenda that reinforces Telenor's reputation as a responsible and trustworthy company.
We have set near-term science-based targets, approved by the Science Based Targets initiative to reduce our company-wide greenhouse gas emissions. Our targets include an absolute goal to reduce our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 80.6% by fiscal 2030 from fiscal 2019 levels, and an intensity-based goal to reduce total Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions per unit of capacity shipped in Gigabit/second by 71.3% by fiscal 2030 from fiscal 2019 levels.
Reduce energy consumption
Our leading network equipment has the power to reduce your overall energy consumption, lower energy costs, and streamline staffing and training requirements aligning with your environmental sustainability goals.
What’s more, retiring and removing existing large routers built on custom silicon means you’ll be able to reduce OPEX. At the same time, CAPEX will be reduced too, with no need to replace complex devices based on custom silicon at the end of their useful lifecycle.
Enable a smarter network
Guided by our Adaptive Network vision, our portfolio addresses increasing bandwidth demand through innovative and energy-efficient technologies and products. Meanwhile, advanced analytics provide the intelligence you need to identify underutilized resources and recoup stranded bandwidth.
IP/Optical Convergence enables the replacement of multiple routers and switches with energy-efficient devices. Pluggable Optics can realize sustainability and cost benefits. And Segment Routing reduces compute requirements to allow for simpler, more energy-efficient servers.
