As 5G networks continue their global expansion, a critical challenge is continuing to expand: growing power consumption, impacting operational expenses and carbon output. It is estimated that by 2030, mobile networks could consume a staggering 5% of world electricity usage, clearly highlighting the need for innovation solutions to the issue.
In this article, learn about the POET (Platform for O-RAN Energy Efficiency Testing) research project which represents a major advancement to mobile network energy savings. Thanks to funding from the U.S. National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) through the Public Wireless Supply Chain Innovation Fund, researchers at the Open Networking Foundation/Aether Project and Rutgers University WINLAB, in collaboration with Keysight Technologies, are pioneering groundbreaking work in O-RAN (Open Radio Access Network) energy efficiency.
