Ericsson and Telstra today announced the successful launch of the 5G Advanced Automated Energy Saver (AES), a first-of-its-kind energy management feature in the Southern Hemisphere.
This innovative solution enables Telstra to be able to manage network operations based on defined business intents in an advanced, intelligent and automatic fashion. Seamless customer experiences are maintained by optimising resources and energy consumption on a real-time basis from observed traffic flows.
As the first 5G Advanced energy-saving feature deployed in Telstra’s network, AES represents the start towards a more advanced, intelligent and automated network that can enable more sustainable operations. By deploying intelligent systems that autonomously manage energy, Telstra continues to lead in network and service innovation while balancing energy savings with customer experience. AES is included in Ericsson's software solutions for 5G Advanced, prioritizing energy efficiency and management.
Intent-based automation, one of the key technological pillars of programmable networks, is a new operations paradigm where operators can use service-related metrics such as user throughput inputs to the radio access network rather than setting radio parameters manually. This makes AES, part of Ericsson’s 5G Advanced capabilities, a pivotal feature in the move toward programmable networks.
