In power management, PowerX AI innovation leads to:
“Take one aspect of a tower’s operation – the number of people connected to the tower. The more devices connected, the greater the power draw. PowerX’s AI might look at that tower’s operation and learn that on specific days power consumption is less than the rest of the week. So, the artificial intelligence will automatically be able to adjust the settings of the Hybrid power system to reduce fuel usage on that site. It doesn’t sound much for a single tower, but when you multiply that by the 12,000 towers in a network, the reduction in fuel costs and CO2 emissions are astronomic.”
Andre Herbst, CEO Megmar International
“Not only did PowerX platform reduce negative environmental impacts, it also resulted in zero network downtime and continuously drives improvements across our infrastructure. We are very optimistic about these findings and the role AI stands to play at the heart of MTN’s infrastructure programme”
MTN Group
“PowerX was one of the winners of the IBM Watson challenge in 2018. The PowerX platform is unique in its application of Watson AI to the mobile cell tower market. It uses ground-breaking AI to optimize both capex and opex for mobile network operators and Tower Cos. For any Tower Co or Network team looking for the next generation tools to improve tower performance and resilience with a future proof solution built on advanced IBM technology then PowerX is the solution for you.”
