Guide to network energy performance benchmarking

With surging demand for connectivity and increasing energy costs, maximizing network energy efficiency without compromising user experience is both a business and sustainability imperative for communications service providers.

Identifying and recording the right Key Performance Indicators can enable service providers to enhance network performance, energy efficiency, achieve opex reduction, and deliver a great user experience.

The Intelligent Operations guide

Operate intelligently to save energy and improve user experience.

It is possible to improve user experience while also reducing energy consumption. This report highlights the solutions that leading CSPs are implementing in their journey to achieving high-performing programmable, more autonomous and energy efficient networks.

Breaking the energy curve

Energy consumption in mobile networks has increased over time. About the same increase with each new mobile generation. We must advance how we plan, deploy and operate mobile networks to break the upgoing trajectory of energy consumption.

By working through all three steps of our approach, we believe it is possible to break the energy curve in mobile networks.

RAN modernization guide

To modernize mobile networks sustainably, we need to consider multiple factors in addition to the energy savings.

This guide supports communications service providers (CSPs) in sustainably evolving their mobile networks by providing a guide to help them make the best RAN modernization decisions.
