Optimizing equipment lifecycles, the key to eco-responsibility
At the heart of our core values, optimizing the lifecycle of deployed equipment is a second pillar of our Green WiFi eco-responsible approach. Our credo: the most environmentally-friendly product is the one you don’t have to replace.
The desire to extend the lifespan of infrastructures and reduce waste is essential. The Green WiFi approach invites you to optimize the life cycle of your equipment, choose sustainable solutions, and – not least – benefit from cost reductions by reconditioning and reusing existing devices.
Green WiFi Fundamentals
Ecodesign
Simplify architectures and integrate the best practices of an eco-responsible approach.
Energy efficiency
Integrate energy consumption into technical choices and implement continuous improvement processes.
Lifecycle optimization
Reduce waste by optimizing the lifespan of existing infrastructures.
How do you go about optimizing the lifecycle of your equipment?
The main aim of this stage in the Green WiFi approach is to maximize equipment utilization and help reduce electronic waste, without compromising the quality and performance of your network infrastructures.
Change, extend, repair…? You need to ask yourself the right questions, be aware of the alternatives, and fully assess the impact and consequences of one choice or another.
Our best practices will help you make the right decisions, decisions that go beyond simple replacement, for sustainable, cost-effective connectivity.
The 3 key principles of Green WiFi lifecycle management
When renovating your network, Green WiFi proposes a two-stage deployment:
- Initial partial replacement: components that are removed and still functional are integrated into your maintenance batches until they are exhausted.
- When the maintenance stock becomes too low, the rest of the park is migrated. On average, this extends the life cycle by one year for half of the devices.
Products that are still functional after migration are reconditioned for a second life.
Beyond the quality/price ratio, the lifespan of your equipment is a decisive criterion for your overall return on investment. Green WiFi integrates this data to help you make the best choices.
Green WiFi also takes into account indirect effects, such as technological impacts on the lifespan of your terminals.
Innovative offers enable you to take advantage of refurbished products while retaining a performance guarantee and without budgetary impact. In this way, you extend the life cycle of these products and reduce their overall carbon footprint.
Green WiFi lifecycle management, a virtuous circle
Following a logical 5-step sequence, our process is part of a continuous dynamic aimed at optimizing equipment life and minimizing our environmental impact.
The first stage begins with an in-depth understanding of your specific needs. We carry out a detailed audit and analyze the specifications to design a customized solution that perfectly meets your requirements while minimizing environmental impact and taking into account any existing equipment to be reused.
Based on the initial analysis, our experts design a tailor-made architecture, respecting the principles of eco-design and sustainability. Each element is carefully selected to ensure optimum performance while complying with environmental standards.
During deployment, we follow a two-stage approach. Partial replacement allows us to integrate removed, still-functional components into maintenance batches, thus extending the life cycle by an average of one year. Then, the remainder of the fleet is migrated, and products that are still functional are reconditioned for a second life.
Once deployed, your Green WiFi infrastructure is proactively maintained to ensure optimum performance throughout its lifetime. Efficient maintenance practices are put in place to ensure the continued reliability and durability of your equipment.
As equipment nears the end of its life cycle, Green WiFi takes responsibility for its collection, treatment and recycling. We are committed to reducing e-waste by giving equipment a second life where possible, and recycling the rest appropriately.
This virtuous circle creates a harmonious balance between technological performance, environmental sustainability and social responsibility.
