Questions to the Group What is EPA trying to do? January 2010 Questions to the Group What is EPA trying to do? Develop an energy efficiency test and rating system for Small Network Equipment. This includes devices such as 802.11 APs Is the EPA draft test procedure written correctly? Should 802.11 recommend changes to the test? Are there any identifiable additions or changes that should be considered to make 802.11 achieve better Energy STAR scores? Bruce Kraemer, Marvell
