  • Patent number: 10139845
    Abstract: A system and method for the software and hardware-based management and control of overall energy consumption in a telecommunications network is described. The energy consumption management in broadband telecommunications networks is accomplished via an adaptive power system interface and network energy controller that has access to the energy management systems, subsystems, features, individual components and configurations of equipment and services within the network, and provides energy consumption control of an entire network or a portion thereof using a plethora of different types of equipment, equipment or software features, equipment cards, ports, devices, systems, and entire facilities within a network.
