Gold Associates.Currently, in the country, these infrastructures use almost 21 million megawatt hours (MWh) of energy, the equivalent of the average of two million homes.“Mobile phone services have become a critical component of the infrastructure of modern life.It's hard to imagine not being able to communicate live with our devices, or increasingly through a wireless home gateway that enables internet services."But the burden they place on the electricity supplies needed to maintain them and the costs associated with the energy supplied is not often discussed."For example, a 10% reduction in energy from a cell infrastructure generates enough electricity for the equivalent of 195,000 homes.And a 40% cap feeds nearly 782,000 households, according to the report.Therefore, by upgrading both radio hardware and management software, each tower could save up to 40% of its electrical needs.“Sustainable reuse of electricity can be used to power a large number of homes without the need for new energy sources.The amount and cost of electricity to run mobile phone infrastructure is huge and has an effect on what users pay, as well as on the load on the electricity grid and the creation of greenhouse gases.For the industry, it would be beneficial to move to the upgrade as early as possible."An average, high-performance infrastructure would cost about $200,000, according to Jack Gold, the study's principal analyst.Each operator would be responsible for his own equipment, even if he shares a physical tower with others.Typically, the tower is owned by an infrastructure company, which it then leases to various telcos.According to the Mobile Telecommunications Internet Association (CTIA), there were 417,215 towers in the United States at the end of 2020. Although the number has increased progressively, this is the figure on which the consultancy has based its study.The radio element of a mobile telecommunications network is called a RAN.A typical RAN lasts around eight years before it requires upgrades or replacement, although it is difficult to estimate how many need to be changed today.But instead of replacing old hardware, moving to a more virtualized environment would help reduce overall power needs, says Gold.By using artificial intelligence (AI) in management software, service providers can operate infrastructure more proactively with tools to monitor passive equipment and enable predictive maintenance and hands-off troubleshooting to reduce costs , energy use and visits.“AI tools are helpful in managing tower hardware by better understanding how much power is needed for each connection, rather than just turning radios on and off at full power, which is basically what happens on older equipment” , expresses the analyst."If you're close to the tower, you don't need to transmit a signal at full power."The AI ​​can also recognize previous patterns and manage teams on that basis.This type of granular management can significantly reduce energy.And better antennas like 5G Massive Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) devices can also help limit the transmission power needed.Ericsson recently announced a more energy-efficient RAN that runs on the company's next-generation silicon that it claims uses 25% less power.The portfolio upgrade includes everything from dual-band radios to ultra-lightweight Massive MIMO radios, low-footprint antennas, and power-saving software features."Also, newer devices may have software installed that can better interface with management to account for a number of power-saving features, just as newer PCs do better than older ones."Another crucial component for energy efficiency is the power amplifier (PA) in the radio that is used to generate the signals that are transmitted, according to Ericsson.Typically, the PA consumes more than 60% of the radio's power.The revolution of social networks conquers the 'business' sectorThe recovery of the labor market, an opportunity for IT women30 years of 'Barcelona 92': the technological feat of the last Olympic Games without internetIzertis' ambition continues: the company acquires Pharma Advisors and Aura GroupThe data center market in the extreme will double in the next five yearsBuyouts of cloud-related companies pull the merger market this yearAltia unfolds its potential after the acquisition of Bilbomática for 24 millionChatbots will be the main customer service channel in five yearsSamsung warns of a sharp drop in demand for chips for PCs and 'smartphones'Telefónica invoices 1,026 million in the first half, a figure higher than the pre-pandemic eraKeys and challenges of the European Health Data SpaceGoogle reaches revenues of 137,600 million dollars but reduces its profits by 11% in the first halfThe Government supports the LEIA project of the Royal Spanish Academy with five million eurosAtos receives 1,500 million euros to finance its spin-off and grows 10% on the Stock MarketSopra Steria and OVHcloud, a common goal: to develop new open source toolsTelefónica revives hiring and adds 122 people to its ranksThe Chinese company, with the intention of facilitating the integration of collaboration and telepresence solutions in companies, has designed a solution specifically designed to be almost 'plug and play' within meeting rooms.One more year ComputerWorld exclusively publishes the 'Index SIX', a study prepared annually by the Spanish Society of Health Informatics and which breaks down the investment made in ICT by the National Health System.Imagine if you could modernize your protection of Virtual Machines (VMs) to require less effort, while gaining in security, flexibility and controlling your costs.With Metallic Data Management as a...Digitization is the lever that companies must activate if they want to meet the demanding demands of the customer of the future: better purchasing cycles and personalized and 100% flexible services.Some, by their own DNA, are already prepared: they are the startups, the true digital natives.
