AI powered transformation: Banglalink elevates efficiency with P.I. Works

Innovative digital operator Banglalink has taken a significant step towards optimising energy efficiency and improving user experience by adopting the P.I. Works' Predictive Energy Saving (PES) module integrated with Self-Organizing Networks (SON) capabilities. Banglalink has incorporated Artificial Intelligence (AI)/Machine Learning (ML) into its engineering processes, using P.I. Works' AI solutions.  

The innovative SON modules help to reduce energy consumption by deactivating underutilised carriers. Banglalink has enhanced network performance with coordinated SON features while minimising human errors, ultimately elevating user experience. 
This AI-driven approach is part of Banglalink's AI1440 strategy, which aims to optimise operations every minute of the day. By leveraging AI, the company has improved operational efficiency, reduced costs, and minimised its environmental impact, all while delivering a seamless and superior customer experience.

The AI and ML-powered system can collect, process, and analyse massive amounts of data to execute decisions without human intervention, ultimately stepping up the game of Quality of Service (QoS) assurance in near real-time. 
P.I. Works is a global player in the solution provider ecosystem, bringing extensive experience and insights into diverse markets to customise solutions based on the needs of individual companies. Banglalink has also prioritised energy reduction and decarbonisation initiatives by deactivating underutilised carriers during low usage hours. 

Since its implementation in May 2024, Banglalink has successfully implemented SON solutions actions across 15.5 thousand base stations and executed intelligent decisions by processing billions of data points. This approach ensures no impact on network performance while significantly improving Quality of Service (QoS) and reducing energy consumption. As a result, Banglalink has achieved up to 15% performance improvement on applicable cells and a 3.00% reduction in energy usage on a network scale.  

Huseyin Turker, Chief Technology and Information Officer, Banglalink, said, "Banglalink is at the forefront of leveraging AI-driven innovation to transform the telecommunications industry while P.I. Work's AI-powered Self-Organized Network (SON) tools are simplifying network management and significantly enhancing operational efficiency in various capacities. By integrating their advanced AI algorithms, we have achieved real-time network resource optimisation and dynamic traffic management, ensuring seamless connectivity and an improved user experience. This initiative aligns perfectly with our AI 1440 strategy, enabling us to reduce operational costs while substantially boosting Banglalink's Network Promoter Score. Looking ahead, we remain dedicated to breaking new ground, delivering exceptional service, and fostering sustainable growth for a greener future."

Başar Akpınar, CEO and co-founder of P.I. Works, said, "P.I. Works is delighted to partner with Banglalink to help it achieve its goals for sustainable network operations. Our solution enhances network efficiency and plays a vital role in reducing carbon emissions, perfectly complementing Banglalink's strategy for building a sustainable future for Bangladesh."
