Network enhancements revolutionize the world, but at what cost?

IEEE Future Networks Transmissions

We delve into the transformative power of cellular networks and their hidden cost on our connected world. While these networks have revolutionized access to information and bridged distances with instant communication, they come with a significant environmental footprint, consuming about 4% of our electric grid capacity. As we evolve from 4G to 5G, we strive to expand coverage. Listen to find out how this demand on our grid is set to rise and how we might address it
