- Ericsson has partnered with Umniah to deploy Ericsson’s Customer Support Service Continuity offering, which is based on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning enabling reduction in energy consumption in network operations through advanced Power Saving AI apps.
- Following a successful proof-of-concept that showed about 20 percent reduction in 5G daily power usage, the full-scale implementation aims to set a new standard for sustainable telecom practices.
Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC, news, filings) has announced a partnership with Umniah Jordan to deploy Ericsson’s cutting-edge Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) solutions to significantly reduce energy consumption across Umniah’s network operations in Jordan, marking a significant advancement in the telecom industry’s efforts towards environmental sustainability.
The deployment comes after a successful proof-of-concept (PoC) where Ericsson’s Intelligent RAN Power Saving solution, part of Ericsson’s Service Continuity AI app suite, demonstrated about 20 percent on 5G daily power saving capabilities.
The 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.
Alaa Ibrahim, Chief Technical Officer at Umniah Jordan, says: “The collaboration with Ericsson signifies a crucial step forward in our commitment to sustainability and technological innovation. 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.”
Marwan Omari, General Manager of Ericsson Jordan, says: “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.”
Ericsson and Umniah’s partnership reflect an increasing environmental awareness within the telecom sector, which accounts for approximately two percent of global energy consumption.
