Sustainability Impact

Environmental
Woven includes fiber-optic technology which offers greater energy efficiency and greater reliability. The shift from copper wire to fiber-optic cable has resulted in reduced energy consumption in data centers as they provide more energy efficiency than traditional copper-based networks requiring less power to transmit data over longer distances. Additionally, fiber–optic cables have a longer lifespan than copper requiring less frequent replacement of cables and are more scalable and efficient, accommodating increases in demand through less material usage.

Social
Reliable and high-performing broadband has become a necessity. Woven enables community access to social supports and education, increases digital inclusion and quality of life, and weaves community needs into the digital economy. It helps develop and implement achievable broadband operations solutions that increase opportunities for economic growth, closing the digital divide by providing digital equity to all individuals, communities, and societies, leading to increased opportunities, improved outcomes, and greater social cohesion.

Economic
Woven’s broadband technology is an essential component of smart grid technology which enables the development of adaptive and resilient communities. Future-proofing through smart communities and smart cities offers a range of sustainable advantages, including resource efficiency, reduced emissions, improved public health, improved citizen engagement, and economic growth. By leveraging technology and data to optimize urban systems, smart cities can create more sustainable and liveable urban environments for people.
