Open platforms are critical to operators’ sustainability goals
This Analysys Mason perspective examines how telecom operators can reduce emissions and energy costs through open cloud platforms. With networks consuming most operational energy, siloed systems limit progress. The report argues that holistic, cloud-based platforms—enhanced with AI and automation—enable better monitoring, predictive power management, and measurable efficiency gains. Surveyed operators reported meaningful reductions in network energy use after adopting open approaches. The paper emphasizes that sustainability goals require integrated digital transformation, not isolated technical fixes, and positions open ecosystems as key to long-term impact.
