'Which Mobile Operators Lead the World in Sustainability?'
Overview
Our "Network Operator Sustainability Strategies" research suite provides in-depth analysis and evaluation of how the dynamic and competitive network operator market is deploying environmental sustainability measures. It will primarily analyse operators' technical use cases such as Cloud Computing, Open RAN (Radio Access Networks), Edge Computing, 5G, 6G, IoT (The Internet of Things), Fibre Optics, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Renewable Energy, Sustainable Supply Chains and Circular Economy. There will also be analysis of operators conforming to newly curated industry standards, such as the Science Based Targets initiative and the agendas of governing bodies (such as GSMA) to achieve goals such as Net Zero in emissions by 2030, network hardware circular economy and legacy network technology retirement.
The suite includes both a data deliverable; sizing the market and providing key forecast data across 60 countries and several different segments, as well as a Strategy and Trends document which gives a complete assessment of the key trends, challenges and key recommendations for stakeholders. Collectively, they provide a critical tool for understanding this industry environment to help network operators, technical solutions providers for those operators, and regulatory bodies and policy makers to shape their future strategy.
