What is Greening the Network?
Greening the Network is a new series by TowerXchange focusing on energy efficiency, renewable investment and network
resilience. We are recruiting energy leaders from towercos, MNOs, investors and technology firms to contribute to the series.

The challenge The telecom sector enables over 2mn

tonnes of emissions reduction annually, according to The
Carbon Trust, but telecom networks themselves are a
significant source of emissions. Five pillars of network greening
Recent figures show that the ICT sector produces 2.3% of

global carbon emissions. Telecom towers are the source
of 24% of those emissions and network emissions are
predicted to grow at a rate of 4.6% annually. Electricity
used by telecom networks alone is predicted to grow at I II III IV V
a rate of 10% per year. The industry needs a response
which bends the curve and minimises emissions. Operational Future Investors ESG strategies Governments
best practice networks and are demanding require supply are pricing out
The response TowerXchange has identified five key favours 5G require green action chain responses carbon energy
trends that make greening the network essential, and renewables energy plans
our quarterly series will highlight how the industry is efficiency
meeting the challenge, and highlight new innovations.
TowerXchange and adapting to the new way
of doing business
What is TowerXchange?
TowerXchange is an open community focussed on

the global tower, and associated communications
infrastructure, industry. Established in 2012,
TowerXchange’s community has expanded to include
over 35,000 people including the management teams

TowerXchange publishes research, interviews and news
in our quarterly journal and through our online portal
at www.towerxchange.com, has a long track record of
connecting the top 1,500 tower industry stakeholders each
year at our annual Meetups and is playing a critical role in
keeping the industry connected through new and enhanced
digital events and digital product offerings.
TowerXchange supports the industry in going borderless in 2020
Lockdown measures, travel restrictions and social distancing measures associated with the Covid-19 pandemic may have turned the traditional means of
doing business on its head, but with communications infrastructure’s role as a critical service, never has it been so important to keep networks up and
running. Leveraging TowerXchange’s network of the sector’s most influential stakeholders, alongside a suite of digital product offerings―from thought
leadership interviews and personalised podcasts and webinars with amplification campaigns to full virtual event experiences with smart networking and
tracking functions―TowerXchange is excited to help our clients meet their marketing and business goals during these changing times.

Digital Networking
Networking is an essential part of the event experience, and the same is true at Greening the Network.
For our speakers, sponsors and delegates, we will be acting as a community host to facilitate networking through a dedicated Digital Networking
App, which will stay live post-event to enable conversations and networking on the Greening the Network platform.
Those that sign up as speakers, sponsors and delegates will be able to navigate the attendee list, contact people they want to meet and arrange follow-
up conversations by email, phone and eventually face-to-face. And just like a real event, TowerXchange will facilitate introductions to keep missed
connections to a minimum.
