Broadband
(Question No. 741)
Mr Fletcher asked the Minister representing the Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy, in writing, on 21 November 2011:
In respect of the connection by NBN Co. Limited of its fibre network to Australian households,
(a) what is the average power in watts that an average household connection will utilise, and
(b) how does this compare to the power used with existing. (i) voice telephone, and (ii) Digital Subscriber Line modem with a personal computer.
Mr Albanese: The Minister for Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy has provided the following answer to the honourable member's question:
The power consumed by NBN Co's fibre network termination device (NTD) depends upon the services being utilised at the time. The average power consumed by an indoor type fibre NTD serving one 100 Mbps data service and one PS TN -equivalent UNI -V service which is utilised 10% of the time is approximately 6.8 Watt.
In comparison the measured average power consumption of a DECT cordless phone on its base station (a Panasonic Range 900) was 6.1 Watt, with the telephone line idle, no calls in progress, and the cordless phone resting in its cradle. In addition, the average power consumption of a personal computer varies from approximately 30 Watt for a laptop to between 200 and 1000 Watt for desktops, including the monitor. A connected ADSL modem to the computer has been measured at 7.2 Watt.
