<p><strong>Using AI for a Sustainable Telecom Future</strong></p> <p>Did you know that the telecom sector is responsible for around 2% of global carbon emissions? A whopping 80% of this comes from radio access networks (RANs), which also account for 20–40% of network operating expenses. But here’s the good news: Artificial Intelligence (AI) is stepping in as the superhuman tech required for susta...

<p>One must experience being locked in a trance watching the hypnotically slow updates of a progress bar to truly know the pain of long-running compute jobs. Luckily for most of us in the machine learning space, there is a simple way to reduce this headache: distributed training on multiple GPUs. While incurring a higher capital expenditure, due to the extra hardware required, faster experiment i...

<p>5G infrastructures will consume significantly more power than the 4G systems they replace. This is in part due to the inexorable growth of user data supported by the much greater capacity available through 5G technologies, but also due to the larger number of base stations deployed to support this capacity. As a result, over 90% of leading mobile network operators have expressed concerns about...
