Green 4G Alliance is a non-profit professional and educational association that promotes the effective and ethical use of wireless broadband technologies and integrated multi-discipline communications to increase the understanding and use of communications to reduce dependence on greenhouse gas producing fossil fuels. It is a multidisciplinary association where professionals from all parts of the communications, entertainment and IT communities can come together and share concerns and ideas and promote creative and cost effective solutions
Over the past several years, wireless systems and deployment methods have evolved to become enablers of new modes of business and government organization and lifestyle change that have among benefits the ability, if used as such, to reduce environmental impacts. The Green 4G Alliance includes participation from countries worldwide.
Our Goals:
- For 4G to be used to reduce telecommuting by 30% and overall automobile use by 20% per capita by 2030.
- To promote 4G to local, regional, national and international governments as a technology platform to lessen dependence on fossil fuels
- Develop 4G as the New Global Highway for environmentally conscious economic development
- To develop policies for use of spectrum that enables greater use of 4G and participation among local, state and regional governments and private organizations
- Profile demonstration projects. These include projects that make use of 4G to provide distance learning, remote & mobile government, medical services, and telecommuting to reduce dependency on use of transport.
- Resource people, companies, products and services that enable Green4G
- Provide an interactive interchange of ideas among 4G industry participants.
- Promote Green4G as the brand emblem for advanced use of broadband. Members may use Green4G emblems and slogans in their literature and products.
- Advance the use of lower power communications devices, systems and methods and architectures.
- Perform and commission studies to determine best practices for use wireless broad band systems to help reduce direct ecological impacts while reducing or eliminating overall impacts.
- Develop studies and tutorials of actual use cases for Green4G.
Modern society has grown through stages of technology development that has brought many positive and some negative impacts. The course of these developments has led developed economies from labor intensive occupations to a highly information, entertainment and relationships based society. From fundamental industries such as agriculture and manufacturing to service and entertainment industries, the means of accomplishing work and seeking self-satisfaction has become centered around automation, information and communications.
Our cities have grown up organically from central hubs of manufacture which drew in rural workers to do manual labor to centers for congregation of information workers, most who commute from the sprawling suburbs.
The automobile has matured into a central focus for economic activity, persona, and organization of society. Even though the effects of pollution have been understood to be harmful, it is only in recent years that the consensus of the world's scientists have raised ominous flags of concern that our addiction to the automobile and other consumption habits that drive the use and discarding of the products of fossil fuels threatens the economic fiber and well being of the entire society.
