Attention TV and Radio BroadcastersEarth Day News Bite: N.J.-Based Verizon Wireless Reducing Energy Usage By 30 Percent With New Thin Workstations
BASKING RIDGE, N.J., April 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Earth Day is Sunday (4/22), and New Jersey-based Verizon Wireless is doing its part to reduce energy usage as well as its own electricity costs. The company reports energy use has been slashed by 30 percent at three of its biggest call centers by replacing personal computers with new "thin client" workstations. The super-slim workstations from California-based Sun Microsystems run on four watts of electricity, less than it takes to light a household light bulb and a small fraction of the power drawn by most other PCs. Not only do the workstations run on less electricity, there's added savings because they generate less heat, and reduce air conditioning costs. The energy-saving call centers in Chandler, Arizona; Albuquerque, New Mexico; and Irvine, California are each home to 1,000 plus customer service representatives.
