AI, machine learning help cut mobile-network energy use

Jordanian mobile network operator Umniah has teamed with Ericsson to leverage Ericsson’s AI and machine learning solutions to reduce energy consumption across its network.

Ericsson’s Intelligent Radio Access Network (RAN) Power Saving solution will automatically switch off Umniah’s network components to reduce energy consumption.

The solution intuitively monitors network performance in real time, analyzing traffic loads to understand where potential power savings could take place without impacting network operations.

The machine learning-powered system can intuitively determine which systems need to be maintained, put on standby or switched off entirely to improve energy management while maintaining operational efficiency.

Umniah and Ericsson conducted a proof-of-concept, which resulted in a 20% power saving across 5G daily operations.
