Ericsson Partners with Umniah Jordan to Cut Network Energy Use with AI/ML Solutions

Ericsson 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.

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.
