Wireless Networks Running RAIN™ Use 40% Less Energy
Wireless operators world-wide are delivering remarkable broadband performance after decades of heavy investments in network infrastructure. This infrastructure, however consumes exponentially more energy, resulting in serious environmental concerns.
Energy Reduction, the new closed loop component of the RAIN™ platform from Opanga, is a major breakthrough, delivering massive energy savings by using real-time CX metrics to control spectrum energization with existing hardware.
Energy Reduction Per Band using RAIN in Tier-1 European Market
RAINs performance was measured across 2,000 cell sites with a Tier-1 European operator in urban, suburban and rural locations.
RAIN saved an average of €3 per day per cell site with a unit cost of €0.15/kWh. Extrapolated to 5,000 cell sites, RAIN saves €5.5M/year for a medium size EU country.
Use Case | Tier-One Scandinavian Mobile Operator
RAIN’s closed-loop AI application assures optimal CX service levels by re-energizing the appropriate amount of spectrum when traffic conditions change.
RAIN™ Boosts Energy Savings by 300% Over Existing Solutions
This data is from a Tier-1 Mobile Operator in Scandinavia and represents the additional energy savings delivered by the Energy Reduction component of RAIN – above and beyond existing RAN OEM energy savings solutions. The eNodeB shown has a standard spectrum configuration: 800MHz (coverage layer), 1800MHz, 2100MHz, and 2600MHz (capacity layers).
