Network Sustainability Award 2021

That’s why they are launching the Tech Award: Sustainability in 5G Challenge.

The top three winners will take home 50K between them. Apply here


They are looking for:

Solutions for renewable energy production & storage

• focus on ICT solutions, mainly telco infrastructure (3-10 kW power consumption minimum)

• solutions with no local CO2 emission or other climate damaging effects

• renewable energy production solutions (e.g. PV, wind), including combinations of alternative options

• scalable solutions, commercially viable within Europe; consider e.g. local electricity markets

• small but highly performant proposals (size, weight, aesthetics)

• Innovative batteries or other storage options  (rated according to cost, capacity limitations, sustainability issues, etc).

• Electricity as main form of energy. Other options would need to be converted to electricity

• Fuel cell solutions welcome, but need to consider constraints above (no CO2 emission, sufficient output power)

Network management solutions

• AI driven load adaptive energy management with a (nonexclusive) focus on telco networks.
