Ericsson has announced a partnership with Unnia in Jordan to deploy Ericsson’s cutting-edge artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) solutions to significantly reduce energy consumption across Unnia’s network operations in Jordan, making a major step forward in the telecommunications industry’s efforts towards environmental sustainability.
The deployment follows a successful proof of concept (PoC) in which Ericsson’s Intelligent RAN Power Saving solution, part of Ericsson’s Service Continuity AI App Suite, demonstrated 5G daily power savings capabilities of approximately 20 percent.
The solution leverages machine learning predictive models that continuously analyze real-time network data. Intelligent decision-making capabilities determine whether to deactivate, activate, or maintain network components based on neighboring cell data and activity. This enables precise energy management and operational efficiency, leading to reduced carbon emissions and operational costs.
Our collaboration with Ericsson marks an important step in our commitment to sustainability and innovation. The positive results of the first proof-of-concept are clear and we look forward to realizing the benefits of this AI-enhanced power saving technology on a larger scale. Implementing Ericsson's Service Continuity Power Saving solution is not just about saving costs; it's about taking meaningful action to reduce our environmental impact and build a greener future.
