Irish ISPs face increasing pressure to cut carbon emissions, control costs, and align with EU sustainability directives. With the national Climate Action Plan outlining ambitious targets for every sector, including telecoms, now is a great time to adopt greener network infrastructure.

CPE is a vital part of that equation. Devices with short lifecycles, high power usage and heavy support overheads not only increase total cost of ownership (TCO) but also undermine ESG commitments. Choosing energy-efficient and future-ready CPE helps Irish ISPs stay competitive and compliant.

Icotera’s reputation for quality Scandinavian design is matched by a clear commitment to sustainability:

– Low energy consumption: Models like the Icotera i4860 offer AX3000-class Wi-Fi 6 speeds with minimal energy draw – ideal for Irish households with rising electricity costs.
– Durable, minimal design: Compact form factors and premium materials reduce waste and simplify end-user installation.
– Lifecycle longevity: Remote firmware updates and strong hardware resilience extend usable life and reduce environmental impact.

These features support Irish ISPs in reducing their carbon footprint without compromising the quality of in-home connectivity – a key differentiator in rural and urban markets alike.

Kontron’s Innbox product line is designed for performance at scale and sustainability is part of the package:
Recyclable components and efficient manufacturing: Devices are built using responsible processes and materials, aligned with EU environmental standards.
Deployment-ready for Irish fibre rollouts: Multi-gigabit Innbox CPE is ideal for fast-developing fibre networks across the island delivering reliable coverage in a compact, cost-effective form.
Designed to last: Built-in firmware flexibility allows devices to be reconfigured or repurposed without replacement, reducing waste and supply chain strain.

As a long-standing partner to Irish network operators, Euroroute delivers more than just hardware:
Zero-touch fulfilment: Pre-configured CPE is shipped directly to homes, eliminating the need for engineer callouts thereby reducing costs and emissions.
Device refurbishment and reuse: Euroroute supports recovery and redeployment models, extending the life of each unit and supporting circular economy goals.
Cloud ACS management: Powered by AVSystem, Euroroute enables remote diagnostics, updates, and fleet management at scale. This reduces truck rolls and shortens response times.

These logistics services are especially valuable for regional and rural Irish ISPs looking to maintain quality at scale without the cost or environmental impact of traditional support models.

– Lower energy and support costs per customer
– Improved ESG alignment and stakeholder confidence
– Compliance with Irish and EU sustainability goals
– Stronger customer loyalty through performance and brand trust

With over 1 million Irish premises now passed by fibre and more being added monthly, deploying sustainable, scalable CPE is one of the smartest decisions an ISP can make.

Whether you serve urban high-density networks or rural fibre projects, the need for sustainable, high-performance CPE is only growing. Euroroute’s partnerships with Icotera and Kontron, combined with our logistics expertise, help Irish ISPs meet that demand without compromise.
