About this project

The description is as the source gives it.

Rakuten Mobile deployed the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC) with AI/ML models across its commercial Open RAN network in Japan for energy optimization. Nationwide rollout targets approximately 20% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional operations. Evidence: "Rakuten Mobile has become the first in Japan to deploy the RAN Intelligent Controller (RIC)—a function that enables AI-based management and control of the Radio Access Network (RAN)—into its large-scale commercial Open RAN network, successfully reducing network power consumption. Nationwide deployment is planned within 2025, targeting approximately a 20% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional operations." — https://global.rakuten.com/corp/sustainability/climate/
