• Communication Service Providers (CSP) want to monetize 5G networks, and they also want to work with partners that are reducing network energy use and minimizing their impact on the environment.
• The ABI Research Sustainability Assessment for telco network technology suppliers scored over 80 vendors on a comprehensive list of criteria, providing an in-depth view of companies that can best support CSPs in their drive toward sustainability.
• Using data from the ABI Research 5G and Sustainable Technologies groups, direct interviews, and questionnaires, ABI Research selected Ericsson as the #1 overall "Most Sustainable Telco Vendor," due to scoring highly in the areas of Net Zero climate targets, product energy management, network energy performance, sustainable manufacturing, and ability to scale impact.

Introduction

ABI Research has provided a comprehensive framework for highlighting sustainability challenges and initiatives across the telecommunications industry. According to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP), roughly two-thirds of the overall carbon footprint for a Mobile Network Operator (MNO) comes from Scope 3 emissions (e.g., purchases of upstream goods and services and downstream energy use of mobile devices), while one-third of operator emission totals are comprised of a company's own emissions, mostly from the electricity used to power their networks. Understanding these major sources for telco carbon emissions, ABI Research identified key action items for a telco operator to take for reducing its carbon emissions and overall environmental impact:

• Switch to renewable energy for purchased electricity.
• Migrate to 5G.
• Invest in latest generation massive MIMO (Multiple-Input, Multiple-Output (mMIMO) technologies.
• Implement eco-design requirements for network equipment (e.g., lightweight, modular, compact).
• Purchase energy efficient network equipment.
• Recycle or reuse network equipment and e-waste, such as copper cables, network equipment, mobile phones, and other devices.
• Implement Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled software across the network for network optimization, anomaly detection, and dynamic optimization of the Radio Access Network (RAN) performance based on data traffic and network loads.
• Adopt digital twin technologies for network asset planning, field operations, and customer mapping.

In a follow-on study, Sustainability Assessment: Telco Technology Suppliers, ABI Research looked further into the telco supply chain-evaluating more than 80 global vendors providing network infrastructure and equipment for sustainable impact and implementation. Impact is defined as the innovation and advanced features of the technologies for reducing carbon emissions or waste, while implementation reflects the ability to scale impact (quantified by market share, regional rollout, number of partnerships, number of licenses, etc.) The sustainability assessment scored each vendor on a comprehensive list of criteria, providing a matrixed view of the ecosystem of companies that can best support a telco in their drive toward improved sustainability.
