GREEN STATEMENT


Lead in electronic products has come under increased regulatory scrutiny due to the growing number of electronic products requiring end of life treatment and disposal. Additionally, global concerns regarding human health and environmental risks associated with hazardous substances has led the European Union to enact the Directive on the Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) which limits the use of Lead, Mercury, Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium, Polybrominated biphenyls or Polybrominated diphenyl ethers in electronic products. This directive took effect on July 1, 2006.

Energy consumption is one of the leading drivers of operating expenses for both fixed and mobile network operators. Reliable access to electricity is limited in many developing countries that are currently the high-growth markets for telecommunications. At the same time, many operators have adopted corporate social responsibility initiatives with a goal of reducing their networks' carbon footprints, and network infrastructure vendors are striving to gain competitive advantage by reducing the power requirements of their equipment. Many telecom companies have committed to carbon reduction plans, the planned growth in the coming years will mean an increasing reliance on “green” wireless network equipment.
