New Logistics Model and Advanced WDM-PON Network Design Hailed as Game Changers
London, United Kingdom. May 6, 2015. ADVA Optical Networking announced today
that it has won two prestigious BT awards for its forward-looking sustainability
program. As a member of BT's Better Future Supplier Forum (BFSF) since 2013,
ADVA Optical Networking has worked closely with BT to reduce its carbon
footprint and drive greater sustainability. BT was so impressed by ADVA Optical
Networking's efforts that it awarded the company BFSF silver supplier status. BT
also awarded ADVA Optical Networking first place in its Game Changing Challenge
(GCC) competition for the development of a new logistics model.
"The BFSF and GCC are gathering momentum with every year. The ideas and
creativity we see here to reduce carbon footprint and build a sustainable future
are impressive," said Mark Shackleton, chief technologist, energy and carbon, BT
Technology Service and Operations. "This is clearly evidenced with ADVA Optical
Networking. What they've achieved in such a short space of time is admirable and
this is why we've given them such recognition. Their GCC submission stood out in
so many ways. Not only did they highlight a way to immediately reduce the carbon
footprint of our supply chain, but they also flagged a potential future network
energy efficiency game changer and outlined how we can build sustainable and
energy-efficient networks with WDM-PON technology. ADVA Optical Networking has
shown themselves to be a forward-looking company with a clear understanding of
how to drastically reduce carbon emissions."
ADVA Optical Networking is the first company to achieve BFSF silver supplier
status and top place in the GCC in the same year. Such acclaim clearly
highlights ADVA Optical Networking's approach to reducing its carbon footprint
and driving greater sustainability. ADVA Optical Networking's GCC award revolved
around two key aspects. Firstly, a new logistics model that revolutionizes end-
user delivery and return. The main focus here is placing new networking
equipment at UPS Access Point(TM) locations as opposed to delivering to BT
warehouses. This enables the engineer to drastically reduce time spent
collecting and returning equipment. Secondly, developing a potential future
sustainable network consolidation approach using WDM-PON technology. This could
reduce carbon dioxide emissions by over 260,000 tons per year.
"We're not simply a technology company. We're a company that is part of our
community. We're a company that is intent on building a better future, a
sustainable future," commented Brian Protiva, CEO, ADVA Optical Networking.
"Every member of our global team is focused on reducing waste, lowering carbon
emissions and caring for the world around us. It's part of our DNA. With BT,
we've found a partner that shares our passions, a company that is truly intent
on driving sustainability throughout every aspect of their organization. Winning
the GCC and being awarded BFSF silver supplier status in the same year is a
phenomenal achievement and something that every member of our team is proud of.
But this is only the first step in what promises to be an exciting journey. We
look forward to continuing our work with BT and other industry partners,
including the Quest Forum."
