Besides being an exciting gadget, the Fonera 2.0<\/a> 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 your notebook or desktop to your Fonera 2.0 router, allowing you to shut down your computer while Fonera 2.0 does the uploading and downloading.<\/p>\n

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

With the new Fonera 2.0 executing all these uploading\/downloading tasks, and with a USB HDD<\/a> attached to it, you will only consume from 2.95W to 3.85W (depending on HDD model).<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

So, all of us at FON<\/a> that have been developing this piece of equipment for quite a while, feel happy that this social router that manages your relationship with the web 2.0 is also greener than any alternative to upload and downlaod.<\/p>\n
