SynaXG joins forces with Keysight and Arm to set new standards in O-RAN energy efficiency

The telecommunications industry is increasingly prioritising energy efficiency in response to rising power consumption concerns. At MWC Barcelona 2025, SynaXG announced a strategic collaboration with Keysight Technologies and Arm to revolutionise energy efficiency benchmarking for Open RAN (O-RAN) network deployments. This partnership combines SynaXG’s ultra-low-power O-DU/CU, Keysight’s Open RAN Architect (KORA) solutions, and Arm’s high-efficiency computing architecture to create a more power-efficient O-RAN ecosystem.

As telecom operators continue to expand their 5G network deployments, they face increasing pressure to balance high-performance connectivity with sustainable energy consumption. This latest initiative leverages advanced testing methodologies and carrier-grade traffic validation to ensure that next-generation O-RAN networks achieve lower power consumption while maintaining network reliability and scalability.

Why Energy Efficiency Matters In O-RAN Deployments

The global shift towards Open RAN infrastructure is driving innovation in power-efficient network solutions. Unlike traditional radio access networks, O-RAN offers greater flexibility and interoperability, enabling operators to integrate multi-vendor solutions. However, as 5G networks grow, so does their power demand, making energy efficiency benchmarking a critical industry focus.

SynaXG’s collaboration with Keysight and Arm aims to address these challenges by implementing advanced power management techniques that enhance network sustainability. By optimising O-RAN network deployments, the partnership seeks to provide telecom operators with solutions that reduce operational costs while meeting stringent energy efficiency standards.

How SynaXG, Keysight, And Arm Are Driving Power Efficiency

At the core of this collaboration is SynaXG’s ultra-low-power O-DU/CU, which integrates Arm Neoverse-based processors designed to minimise power consumption in O-RAN infrastructure. These energy-efficient components undergo rigorous carrier-grade traffic testing using Keysight’s KORA solutions, ensuring that network performance remains stable even under high-demand conditions.

The partnership’s real-world validation process involves 24-hour continuous testing, simulating full-scale network traffic to assess the power efficiency of O-RAN solutions. This testing framework confirms that Arm-based architectures can deliver up to 30% lower power consumption compared to conventional network deployments.

By integrating Keysight’s KORA solutions, the collaboration ensures that O-RAN networks not only meet regulatory energy efficiency benchmarks but also provide operators with data-driven insights to optimise network performance. This level of energy efficiency benchmarking is essential as 5G network deployments continue to scale globally.

Scaling O-RAN Deployments While Reducing Power Demand

For telecom providers, one of the biggest challenges in O-RAN network deployments is balancing scalability with energy efficiency. Traditional RAN architectures often require high-power consumption to maintain carrier-grade performance. However, with the integration of power-efficient Arm architecture, operators can deploy O-RAN networks at scale without significantly increasing energy costs.

This collaboration enables telecom operators to adopt sustainable networking strategies by leveraging AI-driven power management solutions. By reducing power demand, operators can extend network lifespan, minimise operational expenses, and contribute to environmental sustainability goals.

Validating Network Reliability And Performance Efficiency

Beyond energy savings, this partnership focuses on ensuring that O-RAN deployments meet carrier-grade reliability standards. SynaXG’s O-DU/CU, tested under Keysight’s advanced validation processes, guarantees seamless operation even under peak network loads.

One of the key aspects of O-RAN energy efficiency benchmarking is ensuring that power reduction does not compromise network performance. The integration of Keysight’s KORA solutions provides telecom operators with real-time analytics, enabling them to optimise power efficiency without sacrificing network stability.

A Milestone For Sustainable O-RAN Infrastructure

The implications of this collaboration extend beyond power consumption. By setting a new benchmark in O-RAN energy efficiency, SynaXG, Keysight, and Arm are driving the industry towards more sustainable and cost-effective 5G network deployments. This initiative represents a significant milestone for telecom operators, allowing them to transition towards next-generation O-RAN solutions that deliver both high performance and lower power consumption.

As the industry moves towards widespread O-RAN adoption, energy efficiency benchmarking will play a critical role in shaping network sustainability. The ability to reduce power demand while maintaining carrier-grade reliability will be a defining factor in the future of telecom infrastructure.
