The Challenge
The radio network is the largest single electricity bill an operator carries, and sites run at full power through empty hours. Traffic, energy meter and configuration data sit in separate systems.
How It Works
- Reads per-cell traffic counters, site energy meter data and RAN configuration records.
- Forecasts hourly demand per cell and tests sleep options against quality thresholds.
- Pushes the next 24 hours of carrier and radio sleep schedules to the network team.
What It Removes
- Blanket night-time sleep rules across all sites
- Manual reading of site energy meter exports
- Case-by-case engineer approval of each feature
Input Data RequirementsPer-cell performance counters, site energy meter readings, RAN configuration management data, coverage maps, quality-of-service thresholds
Output FormatDaily site-level sleep and shutdown schedule with forecast kWh saved and the quality risk on each action
“We know the network is half empty at three in the morning, but nobody will sign off switching carriers down.”
