(via FG‐SSC and proposed new Q20/5)
SG5 Main Achievements New methodology to assess energy
and GHG impact of ICTs on cities (Draft Recommendation ITU T L 1440)(Draft Recommendation ITU‐T L.1440) provides an internationally recognized
means of quantifying the extent to hi h th li ti f ICTwhich the application of ICTs can
improve the environmental sustainability of city infrastructures and operationsand operations.
ITU and ETSI agreed method to assess energy efficiency of mobile networks (ITU‐T L.1330) It is the first standard to define energy‐efficiency metrics and
measurement methods for live RANs, providing a common reference to evaluate their performance.
