Verizon and the Mobile Devices and Home business of Motorola, Inc. have partnered to create and trial set top boxes that are up to 30 percent more energy efficient than current models, with one new model offering double the amount of storage capacity for digital video recordings.
The two new models, known as the Motorola QIP 7232 and Motorola QIP 7100, feature special software designed by Verizon to maximize energy efficiency. The QIP 7232, the DVR model, boasts a faster processor and more memory. Verizon will begin trialing the set-top boxes in select FiOS TV markets later this year. The new green Motorola set-top boxes are an outgrowth of Verizons efforts to create our own industry-leading energy-efficiency and grow our business responsibly. These set-top boxes will provide a better viewing and multimedia experience for our customers, while helping them lower their energy consumption and utility bills.
The new Motorola QIP set-tops use environmentally-preferred materials that do not contain lead, cadmium, mercury, or other substances of concern. Packaging for the new set-top boxes will be 100 percent recyclable, and made from 75 percent recycled cardboard.
