THE ROAD TO MAKING 5G MORE ENERGY EFFICIENT

11:00AM-11:15AM: Keynote
11:15AM-11:30AM: Partner Keynote
11:30AM-12:15PM: Panel Discussion

With the advancements of 5G, the rollout is rapidly accelerating. Analysts predict that the 5G ecosystem will see a 160% increase in power demands by 2030.  This rapid growth gives a tremendous opportunity for mobile companies to support energy-efficiency innovations and drive progress for sustainable tech development. In fact, many telco giants are already implementing sustainable approaches including a mix of energy-saving software, precision-building networks, intelligent use of infrastructure and even choosing to power its networks with renewables. But, with the production of telecom devices and 5G infrastructure to consider, how can a company begin to tackle implementing sustainable practices across the entire value chain? Will partnerships be necessary for progress? What lessons can we draw from recent case studies? What technology innovations can help drive the sustainable networks?

1:15PM-1:30PM: Partner Keynote
1:30PM-2:15PM: Panel Discussion
 

Taking action to achieve Net Zero right now is more important than ever before. At the latest, the industry has made a commitment to reach net zero by 2050 with attempts to rapidly decarbonize as a sector and to help others reduce their emissions. The mobile industry has begun taking steps toward NetZero but much still needs to be done. During this session, telco industry experts will examine the role of the industry in the NetZero vision, the market approaches, and the hurdles it faces to get there.
