scope:

The requirements and definitions in this document are for Small Networking Equipment (SNE). This document represents one part of the larger ATIS suite of standards concerning Telecommunications Energy Efficiency (TEE).

Purpose

This document provides a set of definitions, requirements, and guidelines for calculating the Telecommunications Energy Efficiency Ratio (TEER) of a Wi-Fi Access Point. This document also provides standardized definitions for operational data rates and test conditions to be used when calculating the TEER of any given configuration. The test methodology used to independently verify the Energy Consumption measurement used as part the TEER calculation is addressed in ATIS-0600015.

Application

This document (and supporting documentation) is intended to be used by network operators, equipment manufacturers, and resellers as a standard method for determining the energy efficiency of Wi-Fi Access Points. By comparing the TEER reports of multiple products that have the same functional capabilities and meet a common set of requirements, a communications network operator, reseller, or end user can select the equipment that best meets their energy efficiency targets.
