What is GreenTouch?
Mission
• By 2015, our goal is to deliver the architecture, specifications and
roadmap — and demonstrate key components — needed to
reduce energy consumption per user by a factor of 1000 from
current levels.
• It was initiated by Bell-labs, research arm of Alcatel-Lucent
• It was launched on January 11th 2010
• There are 18 founding members: manufacturers (Alcatel-Lucent,
Huawei, Samsung, Freescale), operators (Swisscom, Portugal
telecom, Telefonica, Orange, ATT), research institutes (IMEC, CEALETI, INRIA) and universities (Melbourne, Stanford, MIT)
• New members have joined: among others, NTT, Vodafone, China
Mobile, Korea Telecom, many universities and very recently
Broadcom and Fujitsu. At present, there are 35 members .

• GreenTouch is consortium aiming at reducing the energy consumption
in the telecommunication network by a factor of 1000 by 2015. It is a
relative and not an absolute diminution (definition given later).
