La sustainability and reduction of energy consumption These are two of the features that Cerium promotes in all our networks. The Cerium engineering team that designs the networks works from the beginning to create its architecture, implementing concepts that are of such priority to us as they are “Sustainability by design” y “Security by design”, being two of the fundamental axes that mark the final design and architecture of our networks. Proof of this is that the company ECO-ONE, specialized in sustainable solutions for the hotel sector, has chosen us as partners of the eco-efficiency division in charge of achieving a more sustainable, profitable architecture and construction that consumes the least possible resources.
To achieve this goal, we take advantage of the advantages that fiber optics brings us. Specifically, GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) is the most optimal technology in this regard, the most respectful of the environment. Its advantages are mainly due to the characteristics of the network infrastructure. This allows distances much greater than structured cabling and due to the passive nature of the network, no intermediate equipment (switches) is needed between the central equipment and the user equipment, with the consequent energy savings and avoiding the generation of waste or cyber-garbage.
In addition, the amount of energy required to send light through the cable is much less than that required to send the electrical signals in the old copper cables. Specific, optical fiber needs 7 times less energy than copper, achieving more speed, more efficiency and less emissions. With this we manage to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, one of the main causes of climate change and the consequent global warming. On the other hand, the fiber is made up of biodegradable material, that is, it can be used for recycling.
In an indirect way, but no less importantly, GPON networks allow us to offer new services of value due to their speed and bandwidth much higher than traditional networks, such as teleworking, telemedicine, etc. (supported by videoconferences). As a consequence, the need for travel and travel is minimized, with a very positive impact on the control of the greenhouse effect and the reduction of atmospheric pollution.
In addition, the deployment of our networks makes it easier to obtain GREEN BUILDING green certificates, such as LEED or EDGE.
From a technical and functional point of view, Cerium networks are much more efficient since they offer greater connectivity, range and bandwidth for the guest, improving the user experience and the functionality of hotel services.
