Umniah will deploy Ericsson’s Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) solutions to reduce energy consumption across its network operations in Jordan.

Umniah has partnered with Ericsson to implement Customer Support Service Continuity offering, which uses AI and ML to reduce energy consumption in network operations through advanced Power Saving AI applications.

This deployment follows a successful proof-of-concept (PoC) that demonstrated approximately a 20% reduction in daily 5G power usage. The companies expect that full-scale implementation will set a new standard for sustainable telecom practices.

The solution leverages a machine learning prediction model that continuously analyses real-time network data. With intelligent decision-making capabilities, it determines whether to deactivate, activate, or maintain network components based on the data and activity in neighbouring cells. This enables precise energy management and operational efficiency, resulting in reductions in carbon dioxide emissions and operating costs, the statement said.

“The positive outcomes of the initial proof-of-concept were clear, and we are eager to see the benefits of this AI-enhanced power-saving technology on a larger scale. The implementation of Ericsson’s Service Continuity Power Saving solution is not just about cost savings - it is about taking meaningful action towards reducing our environmental footprint and building a greener future,” said Umniah Jordan in a statement.
