A new edition of Ericsson\u2019s Breaking the Energy Curve report offers updated advice to communications service providers (CSPs) about how they can become more energy-efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective as they scale up 5G \u2013 while also achieving their business goals and sustainability targets.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the\u00a02020 first edition of the report<\/a>, Ericsson estimated the annual global energy cost for running mobile networks at about USD\u00a025 billion. With subsequent global economic challenges, punctuated by the energy crisis and surging inflation, that number is now expected to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These developments further focus the need for CSPs to be even more efficient and sustainable in running their networks. Ericsson\u2019s updated \u2018On the Road to Breaking the Energy Curve\u2019 report aims to support them towards these goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fredrik Jejdling, Executive Vice President and Head of Business Area Networks, Ericsson, says: \u201cAs global deployments of 5G connectivity continue, the benefits of an energy-conscious, future-proof portfolio are becoming more evident. However, it is also clear that the major energy consumption savings such a portfolio delivers across the network can also be strengthened by other actions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He adds: \u201cWe cannot continue with a \u2018business as usual\u2019 approach. We should take advantage of wider network changes and modernization as opposed to piecemeal swap-outs. We must utilize the latest advances in technology to enable energy-saving functionalities and consider the best use of our energy sources. To put it simply, we need to think differently.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

5G has been deployed globally in more than 200 networks since the previous edition of the report. The updated report outlines three steps on how to scale up 5G with sustainability top-of-mind and reduce the total network energy consumption by challenging the traditional industry approach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
