Summary

Recommendation ITU-T L.1340 provides informative values on the energy efficiency of different types of telecommunication network equipment and small networking equipment in use in both the fixed and mobile networks. These values are related to energy efficiency metrics, test procedures, methodologies and measurement profiles that have been defined in Recommendation ITU-T L.1310.

These informative values are intended to be a valued reference resource for those in the process of choosing the most energy-efficient technologies for network upgrade and deployment and, in so doing, reducing the carbon footprint of the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector.
