The Fonera 2.0; White on the Outside, Green on the Inside

Mar 29, 2009 – Besides being an exciting gadget the Fonera 2.0 helps you reduce some of the CO2 you generate in your digital life.  The Fonera 2.0 is Green because you can save energy moving your long time consuming tasks from the notebook or desktop to your Fonera 2.0, allowing you to shut down your computer while Fonera 2.0 does the uploading and downloading.

When we leave on our computers at night doing long uploads of our videos to YouTube or downloading huge files with BitTorrent, our notebook or desktop cannot go to standby mode and wastes from 10 to 100W of electricity (being 10W what we would consume with a very energy efficient notebook with its screen off and 100W with a not-so-efficient Core Duo desktop PC using a screen saver with the monitor on).  And all this during all night for as many nights as we leave it on!

With the new Fonera 2.0 executing all this uploading/downloading tasks and a USB HDD attached to it you will only consume from 2.95W to 3.85W (depending on HDD model).

This means that, in the worst case scenario, you will reduce to 1/3rd the CO2 emissions that our uploading/downloading generates and if you are replacing an average desktop PC, CO2 emissions using the Fonera 2.0 will be reduced up to 30 times.

FON developers have been developing this piece of equipment for quite a while, and are happy that this social router that manages your relationship with the web 2.0 is also greener than any alternative to upload and download.
