Nokia AVA for Energy SaaS
Nokia AVA for Energy SaaS solution is designed to monitor network traffic patterns automatically. By doing so, the solution enables operators to reduce power usage by throttling back connectivity resources such as base stations during periods of low usage. The technology ensures that mobile customers experience no noticeable decline in network quality despite active energy-saving measures.
Nokia says as the solution is based on the SaaS model, through subscription, O2 Telefonica Germany need not significantly invest in upfront capex while also avoiding the need to perform on-site maintenance.
Nokia AVA for Energy Solution continuously monitors network performance to ensure that energy-saving measures do have an impact on the network quality for O2 Telefonica Germany subscribers.
