Are Wireless Networks environmentally friendly? Are wireless base stations, routers and devices designed to conserve energy? Are  alternate solutions being sought to replace environmentally "un"friendly batteries in devices? Are the wireless system air interfaces designed with an eye to conserving battery power in the device?

After browsing several popular wireless blogs, I have decided to differentiate the Wireless Commons blog with a focus on advanced wireless technologies and the work being done by research labs and emerging wireless companies. Periodically, I may address some topics relavant to the Canadian wireless space. My vision is to bring together people in academia, industry, government and any others with interest in wireless evolution.
