AI-Enhanced Power-Saving Technology
Ericsson’s solution leverages a machine learning prediction model that continuously analyzes real-time network data. Through intelligent decision-making capabilities, it determines whether to deactivate, activate, or maintain network components based on the data and activity in neighboring cells. This enables precise energy management and operational efficiency, in addition to resulting in reductions in carbon dioxide emissions and operating costs.
Signifying a crucial step forward in its commitment to sustainability and technological innovation, Alaa Ibrahim, Chief Technical Officer at Umniah Jordan, commented, “The positive outcomes of the initial proof-of-concept were clear, and we are eager to see the benefits of this AI-enhanced power-saving technology on a larger scale. The implementation of Ericsson's Service Continuity Power Saving solution is not just about cost savings; it is about taking meaningful action towards reducing our environmental footprint and building a greener future.”
Adding his remarks, Marwan Omari, General Manager of Ericsson Jordan, stated, “Ericsson’s partnership with Umniah highlights our capability to innovate and also aligns with our vision to support our partners in achieving significant energy efficiencies and carbon footprint reduction. The partnership is a testament to our exceptional customer support – service continuity services through advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning solutions that ensure operational excellence without compromising service quality or our continued dedication to driving the industry towards a more sustainable future.”
