We are aware that 5G will boost data consumption and, as a result, increase power consumption. But we will compensate for the increased energy consumption by using more energy efficient equipment. The 5G network also has energy-saving features, such as putting base stations into a ‘sleep mode’ when not in use (during nights and weekends, for example).
Also, our joint venture with Orange Belgium will have a positive impact on our environmental footprint as we will need to deploy less infrastructure and antennas. In addition, the roll-out of 5G will allow us to phase out less energy-efficient networks such as 3G. 5G also allows companies and the public sector to develop new solutions that will have a positive impact in meeting their climate targets.
5G will enable our customers to reduce their carbon footprint.
We work hard to increase efficiency to benefit the environment and to help our customers to do the same.
