Australians rely heavily on our telecommunications infrastructure due to our geographic dispersion. We are also very susceptible to climate change, given our reliance on agriculture. Information technology is consuming a rapidly increasing fraction of our power and our budget. This research will help to reverse both those trends, by finding novel and practical ways to use our infrastructure more efficiently, and to minimise its energy use. This will enable the Australian telecommunications industry to provide better service (including to Australian industries and rural communities) at lower economic and environmental cost. This project will put Australia on the international stage as a leading contributor to energy-efficient internet technology.

由于地理分散，澳大利亚人严重依赖我们的电信基础设施。由于我们依赖农业，我们也很容易受到气候变化的影响。信息技术正在消耗我们的力量和预算的一小部分。这项研究将有助于扭转这两种趋势，找到新颖而实用的方法来更有效地利用我们的基础设施，并最大限度地减少能源使用。这将使澳大利亚电信业能够以较低的经济和环境成本提供更好的服务（包括向澳大利亚工业和农村社区提供服务）。该项目将把澳大利亚作为节能互联网技术的主要贡献者推向国际舞台。
