Within the scope of GreenICT, the Photonic Networks department will upgrade the optical system laboratory in the hub "energy-saving communication infrastructures" so that it can determine or optimize the energy requirements of optical transmission systems. Furthermore, network operators, system suppliers and component manufacturers will be enabled to minimize energy and resource requirements through load-adaptive system control.
