Vodafone is playing a significant role in enabling a low carbon future. Our mobile technology can help business customers and consumers make the transition towards lower carbon ways of operating, living and working.
Considerable climate benefits and cost savings can be achieved through applications powered by machine-to-machine (M2M) connections – remote wireless connections that can change the way companies operate. For example, M2M connections can significantly improve the efficiency of logistics and manufacturing processes, and are enabling a new generation of efficient energy grids.
We aim to roll out 10 million carbon-reducing M2M connections by 2013 through our dedicated M2M business. The initial focus is on smart metering and smart logistics. We are researching the carbon-reducing potential of other M2M applications.
By adopting mobile flexible working, using video-conferencing and mobile internet access, businesses can reduce emissions from commuting and business travel.
M2M-connected smart meters are central to the development of more efficient energy grids and can help promote smarter energy use and renewable micro-generation by consumers.
Inefficient distribution systems can be transformed by wireless M2M services such as global vehicle tracking systems, load optimisation, vehicle condition monitoring and remote supply control.
Using mobile technology to work flexibly and remotely reduces the need for commuting and business travel – essential for a low carbon future.
