Nokia said it has launched its Nokia AVA Energy Efficiency service, which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help Communications Service Providers (CSPs) cut energy bills by up to 20 percent and move towards more sustainable patterns of usage. In November, ABI Research forecast that the energy consumption of CSPs would rise by 160 percent by 2030, even though 5G networks are up to 90 percent more efficient than 4G ones.
Nokia AVA combines telecoms expertise, AI and cloud based delivery to power down parts of the radio network when traffic levels are low. Machine Learning algorithms ensure that energy savings are maximised without compromising network quality. CSPs can also use analytics dashboards to benchmark the energy efficiency of different base stations, including batteries and air conditioning units.
The Nokia AVA Energy Efficiency service has already been deployed by CSPs around the world to reduce annual energy usage. Nokia offers CSPs choices of commercial delivery model, including a standalone As-a-Service option or as part of a larger Managed Service contract.
Nokia is aligned with the ambition of limiting global warming to 1.5 Celsius. In 2019, Nokia delivered zero-emission products to over 150 customers worldwide. Forty-six percent less energy was used on average an the customer base station sites that Nokia modernised in 2019, compared with those that its customers did not modernise.
