stc uses Nokia SON to improve RAN energy efficiency with AI powered energy savings management

“At stc, we are committed to tackling key environmental challenges in our industry. We are collaborating with Nokia in four areas characterized by climate, society, digitalization, and future of work, aiming to reduce carbon emissions and promote sustainable practices.. We are very happy with the results of automation with MantaRay SON. With the new Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning powered Energy Savings Management module, we were able to reduce energy consumption by 6 percent across our 4G network without any degradation in network KPIs. This was thanks to AI/ML based optimization of base station energy-saving features. Improvements in RAN energy efficiency have a big role in reducing CO2 emissions in line with our target of reaching net zero.”
