Webinar Summary
Energy efficiency is a prerequisite for sustainable and healthy mobile communications networks, particularly for 5G.
In this webinar, Ray Williamson, Director of Wireless PLM, Europe from Huawei will outline energy-saving solutions for each stage of the network: in the radio product, at the site and across the entire network. Huawei’s R&D innovation produces 5G Active Antenna Units (AAUs) which deliver 50x larger cell capacity without increasing the energy consumption of existing 4G Remote Radio Units (RRUs). Ray will also outline how implementing AI drives savings at the network level. Including:
- Outline of the drivers for energy-efficient mobile networks
- Discuss how a range of technologies are reducing energy consumption within the RAN
- Explain how AI will play a key role in further reductions in energy consumption
