The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
The latest development is the second-generation of green switches, beginning with the 5-port Gigabit Ethernet desktop model, the $A99.95 DGS-1005D.
Powering down inactive ports for 14 hours a day is said to reduce power consumption by 66 percent compared with D-Link's earlier non-Green switches. If the network's not used at all (eg on a public holiday), the saving can be as high as 73 percent.
While no specific claims are made for the contribution of adjusting power levels to suit cable length, D-Link officials claim it means "power consumption can be significantly reduced."
The second-generation green technology will be added to the 8, 16 and 24-port switches in D-Link's DGS family later this year.
"Our goal is to maintain industry leadership as a pioneer of Green networking technology by building in even more energy-saving features into our products without sacrificing performance," said Maurice Famularo, marketing director, D-Link Australia and New Zealand.
"We plan to continue the momentum of success we've realised with our first generation Green products as we seek new avenues that protect the environment and help our customers save money in the process," he added.
