Iliad could  reduce the power of the mobile network antennas during the night hours . The decision may be necessary to reduce consumption and deal with the likely imminent energy crisis.

This was stated by the CEO Benedetto Levi during an interview with the Italpress press agency. Iliad No. 1 reiterated that reducing energy consumption – in the face of the risk that it will not be possible to produce enough energy to meet the primary needs of the population – will be a priority of the company.

We are evaluating some measures at night which, without having the slightest negative impact for the service offered to the user, go to reduce the consumption of electricity to, in fact, reduce the consumption of the country in general.

Benedetto Levi said. Therefore the operator is convinced that he can turn off part of the frequencies without compromising the quality of the service.

Iliad has already implemented this strategy in France, where the frequency bands of 2,100MHz for 4G, 2,100MHz for 3G and 3.5GHz for 5G are spent at night . The company explains that an automatic system will be used: if for any reason there should be a peak in demand from customers, the frequencies would be switched back on immediately.

Among other things, Iliad has also updated the Iliadbox routers to ensure that they turn off automatically during the night when they are not in use.
