The importance of Open RAN to sustainability and energy efficiency

Open RAN technologies can enable mobile operators to improve their network’s energy efficiency and contribute towards their sustainability efforts. Rob Hughes of Fujitsu discusses some of the new energy-savings features that we are seeing in radios, including the capabilities of the RAN intelligent controller (RIC) and service management and orchestration (SMO), and explains the role that automation will play in sustainability. He also reveals what additional innovations Fujitsu has contributed to virtualised RAN (vRAN) and suggests how networks will become even more energy efficient in the future.
