The radio
Start where the power goes.
Designed for efficient energy use across changing traffic conditions.
The radio is a major load at a cell site. Reducing its power demand lowers the energy the rest of the site must supply.
Technology
Start where
the power goes.
Radio hardware designed for better energy economics, from the amplifier to the site power system.
Our approach
Efficiency
at the source.
Radio power consumption is a material part of a cell site’s energy requirement. Reducing it can improve the economics of the site and the power infrastructure around it.
TalkingHeads’ approach combines radio hardware design with software-defined operation. The objective is to use energy more effectively across changing traffic conditions while meeting network requirements.

One radio.
A system of possibilities.
The site
Consider the system around it.
Lower radio energy use reduces the load on the site power system.
Effects on solar, storage and fuel requirements depend on traffic, climate, backup needs and site architecture.
The network
Improve the network economics.
Stronger site energy economics support the networks you operate and the sites you plan to build.
Let’s look at where power costs stand between your network and its next opportunity.
Evidence, clearly labeled
Model the opportunity.
Validate the result.
Our engineering model puts the radio at approximately 3× lower power draw, and the site at around half its total energy, against a comparable incumbent configuration. The first customer field trial is what measures it.
Bring us your load, power source and existing equipment. We’ll show what lower radio power means for the cost of your site, with every assumption laid out.
