As more and more Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) look to reduce energy consumption to drive a decrease in greenhouse gases, industry leaders are rethinking the way networks are built and run.
Fortunately, a number of best practices are emerging for how to manage energy consumption in 5G Open RAN. Rakuten Symphony has published a white paper that gives MNO managers a roadmap to better network sustainability.
The white paper begins by identifying the radio unit (RU) as the biggest consumer of energy in the network and then focuses on a number of best practices for reducing RU power consumption, including through O-Cloud and RU power optimization, as well as the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) and energy management platforms.
The white paper — which was written to help MNOs cut their energy costs without impacting service levels or other key KPIs — concludes with four recommendations for how to approach the challenge of energy management that you won't want to miss.
