Body Text

Qualcomm, in partnership with Amdocs, has announced a significant expansion of its RAN Automation platform, Edgewise, within Globe Telecom’s network. This includes Qualcomm’s cutting-edge AI-based Energy Efficiency Orchestration application, which has been operational nationwide at Globe for the past seven months and is powered by AWS Cloud infrastructure.

 

To date, Qualcomm’s Edgewise Energy Saving Solution has achieved an impressive 4.2% reduction in energy consumption. This outcome underscores the tangible benefits of Qualcomm’s advanced technology in delivering substantial environmental and operational gains for telecom operators like Globe.

 

This strategic move aims to empower Globe to maximize the energy efficiency of its existing RAN equipment, thereby minimizing carbon emissions, reducing operational expenditures (OPEX), and achieving optimal energy cost savings.

 

Qualcomm’s groundbreaking Edgewise Energy Efficiency application utilizes advanced AI and machine learning algorithms to intelligently orchestrate telecom operators’ existing RAN equipment. This dynamically enhances energy-saving activities at a cellular level while safeguarding an optimal user experience. A key advantage of this approach is its ability to address the complexities associated with evolving energy needs, maximizing energy-saving time windows, and adapting seamlessly to traffic fluctuations and network changes.

 

In line with Globe’s steadfast commitment to decarbonization and achieving net zero carbon emissions, the telecom giant has been actively exploring innovative solutions to amplify energy efficiency. The challenge has been to strike a delicate balance between reducing energy consumption and maintaining network quality efficiently. Globe, with its highly sophisticated network consisting of multiple layers and profiles, found Qualcomm’s Edgewise solution to be a game-changer. The adoption of this solution significantly simplified operations, offering a holistic, flexible, and customizable approach.

 

The project was implemented based on a saving-share model, which drove continuous innovation and enhancement of the solution. This approach ensured that the solution was constantly refined and improved, leading to significant energy savings for Globe. By pushing the solution to its limits, both parties benefited from the increased efficiency and effectiveness of the Energy Savings Solution.

 

“Qualcomm’s AI-powered Energy Efficiency solution has enabled us to significantly reduce energy consumption across our RAN while maintaining optimal network performance for our customers. This collaboration is a testament to our dedication to sustainability and innovation in delivering superior network experience, as we aim for decarbonization and achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050,” said Joel Agustin, Globe’s Head of Service Planning and Engineering.

 

“Qualcomm, with its AI-powered solutions, is partnering with telcos to maximize their network energy efficiency. The telco industry embraces AI and automation as important technologies for their energy-effective strategy, and Qualcomm, powered by Edgewise, is proud to be part of Globe’s journey to innovate and fulfill their green energy-saving strategy,” said ST Liew, Qualcomm.
