The Complex Relationship Between DAA and Energy Consumption (Room B405)

It seems counter-intuitive to potentially use less power in the physical infrastructure, at a time when architectures are becoming distributed, fiber is going deeper, and node splits are simultaneously creating more components that need electricity. This session investigates the relationship between plant power and DAA/Remote PHY. Bell Labs Consulting’s RJ Vale will analyze three DAA architectures for hub space savings and energy consumption. Next, Cisco’s Fernando Villaruel will show how analytics can optimize power management in node clusters.
