The future of mobile networks is green.
And, speed alone isn’t enough.
As networks get faster, their energy consumption rises too.
That’s a challenge we can’t ignore.
Why does energy efficiency matter?
Lower costs for operators & users
Reduced environmental impact
Less energy = a smaller carbon footprint.
Now, you might ask, Isn’t 5G already efficient?
It is—but there’s room for improvement.
Here’s how we can make networks greener:
Cloud-native architectures
Massive MIMO muting
Fronthaul link switching
AI-powered network optimization
Smaller, smarter cell deployments
It’s a collective effort.
Researchers, engineers, and even users all play a role.
We need to build high-performance networks.
6G will take this even further.
Small changes today = a greener future for all.
