Telecommunications Case Study
Using Tupl to Increase
Power Saving Gains from PSFs
The client
A Tier-1 telecom operator in Europe aiming to maximize energy efficiency across its RAN infrastructure by internalizing power-saving operations and scaling them intelligently across a multi-vendor network—without compromising network quality or customer experience.
The challenge
Over a period of 3 years this leading network performance operator had optimized their RAN Vendor´s Power Savings Features (PSFs) across their network, achieving approximately 4% energy savings. However, they had reached the limits of what could be achieved using conventional methods – namely, applying uniform settings across entire clusters or regions.
Key limitation of the traditional approach included:
- Lack of granularity: The operator lacked scalable approach to provide recommendations on cell level as this would have been extremely labor intensive.
- Network quality vs. energy savings trade-off: Given the high priority on network performance and end user experience, the operator was forced to apply conservative optimization strategy nationwide.
The solution
Power Saving Advisor operates as an autonomous AI-driven zero-touch system,
with the flexibility to switch to an open-loop supervised mode when needed.
Automated, scalable operations across diverse network environments
Business logic control to balance energy savings with quality of service
Real-time management dashboards powered by explainable AI, ensuring full visibility, operational oversight and control over autonomous decisions
Benefits for the client
Significant Results Delivered Quickly
Within 3 weeks Tupl achieved ~11% savings, a ~7 p.p. increase on what had been achieved after 3 years of optimizing the PSFs
Securing End User Experience
By iterative optimization of the most important controlling parameters cell-by-cell Tupl managed to define new optimum operating point for the network, securing network quality and end user experience while maximizing the energy savings.
