Ericsson has won FutureNet World’s Network Sustainability Award for its 5G Advanced Automated Energy Saver feature. This innovation highlights Ericsson’s commitment to creating more sustainable and cost-efficient mobile networks by introducing intent-driven operations as a new standard.
The FutureNet World Awards recognize outstanding innovation in automation and the use of AI to change how networks function and operate.
Ericsson’s Automated Energy Saver is acknowledged for delivering significant energy savings and providing a robust return on investment, making it invaluable for communications service providers (CSPs) aiming to achieve business and sustainability benefits.
The award-winning case is based on commercial deployments at Telstra and DNB, as published in Ericsson’s Intelligent Operations Guide, where the Automated Energy Saver solution has demonstrated significant benefits.
As part of Ericsson 5G Advanced software solutions, the Automated Energy Saver operates within the RAN Compute or baseband, offering distributed automation to enhance network performance while minimizing energy usage. This functionality activates or deactivates radio resources based on user throughput, ensuring energy is not wasted when not needed. It exemplifies intent-driven operations, focusing on user experience to autonomously manage network resources.
“This award strongly endorses our commitment to innovation, driving both sustainability and customer value,” says Johan Hultell, Head of Product Line Cloud & Purpose-built 5G RAN at Ericsson. “Our 5G Advanced Automated Energy Saver solution has shown remarkable success in improving energy efficiency while maintaining user experience. We are excited to bring such real-time intent-driven automation capabilities to market, helping service providers build more sustainable and future-ready networks.”
Intent-driven automation, one of the key technological pillars of programmable networks, is a new operations paradigm where service providers can use service-related metrics such as user throughput inputs to the radio access network rather than setting radio parameters manually. This makes Automated Energy Saver, part of Ericsson’s 5G Advanced capabilities, a pivotal feature in the move toward programmable networks.
