The Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), Taiwan’s largest high-tech applied research organisation, teamed up with top electronics producer PEGATRON Corporation to exhibit their innovations in energy-saving 5G private networks at CES 2023, which will focus on sustainability and connectivity. By signing a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on January 5 to formalise their partnership, the two parties further announced their collaboration on promoting the jointly developed software platform Athena Orchestrator—O-RAN SMO & RIC, the 5G Energy-Saving O-RAN System, and the Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) Solution.
ITRI and PEGATRON together created the 5G Energy-Saving O-RAN System, a private network solution for both smart factories and portable use, based on the Athena Orchestrator—O-RAN SMO & RIC. AI algorithms keep track of traffic patterns and detours, distribute network traffic optimally, and enable idle base stations to go into hibernation to reduce power usage while maintaining service quality.
