New distributed cooling methods exist for cooling hot air at the equipment exhaust point.
This new method allows for increased cooling capacity without large adjustments to room
airflow.
Indices now exist that allow for an evaluation of cooling efficiency at the rack level.
Incorporation of such a method into requirements can easily characterize the cooling
environment and help carriers evaluate cooling methods to maximize efficiency and
promote product cooling for higher reliability.
The Value of Participation
Participation at the GR-3028 Forum provides members with the opportunity to hear and share
ideas that are germane to network equipment and electrical compatibility issues. The benefits
of participating in this GR reissue include the following:
Opportunities to propose requirement changes to GR-3028. These changes will have a
direct influence on product thermal design and deployment methods.
A forum to raise, discuss, and define network equipment thermal management issues via
face-to-face and conference call meetings.
A forum to suggest how telecommunications carriers might better change their practices
and policies to simplify thermal management and service deployment in a cost-effective
manner.
A forum to suggest how suppliers might change their equipment design practices to allow
for easier deployment of products in the existing telecommunications infrastructure.
Networking with your current and potential customers, other thermal engineers, and
Telecommunications Company peers to gain a better understanding of each party’s needs
and concerns.
An in-depth understanding of the nature of GR-3028 requirements that can help make you
an expert within your company and the industry.
An Enterprise License for the newly issued GR-3028 that can be used company wide by you
and your coworkers.
Telcordia Invites Your Participation
To proceed with this project, it is expected that Telcordia will need a minimum of four industry
participants. While the project can proceed with fewer participants, deliverables may change
as a result. The participating industry members will be apprised regularly of project status and
any changes in deliverables.
NOTE: Customers can also qualify for participation in this GR project at no cost if Telcordia
has realized over $40M in revenue from the Customer for the time frame of 2/1/10 - 1/31/11.
A GR Participation Agreement will still need to be signed, but there will be no incremental fees
for participation. This offer is applicable to this GR-3028-CORE, Issue 2, only, and is not valid
