The FTTH Council Europe has stated that Green Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Technologies will help in connecting the UN Climate Change Conference to the world. The Highest FTTH Penetration Rates are found in Denmark, which is considered as a Leading European Country in terms of its Sustainable Innovation.
The Climate Change conference will offer the possibilities of remote participation besides being connected by the fiber-to-the-home technology. Efficient developments and high-speed access will be obtained from the Copenhagen Bella Conference Center and from the broadband connections in Denmark.
The debate on climate change will be held in Denmark as it is considered as a leading European adopter among other adopters of fiber-to-the-home technologies along with an increase in its subscribers to 90% in the past one year. Future-proof technologies can thus be adopted in Denmark which will lead to an increase in the economy along with improvements in the quality of life of the people of Denmark and its environment.
Karel Helsen, President of the FTTH Council Europe, remarked on the significance of the services provided by fiber-to-the-home, which includes telemedicine and teleworking. These services are important because of the reduction in carbon emissions brought about by them. Helsen stated that in the next 30 years more than one million tons of carbon dioxide will be saved by per million subscribers in Europe.
The FTTH technologies besides bringing about reductions in the emission of carbon dioxide and reductions in other forms of greenhouse gas emissions will also create positive influences in the atrophication of water resources and depletion of stratospheric ozone.
