Mobile network sites rely on powerful cooling and ventilation systems to prevent critical infrastructure from overheating—but this comes at the cost of high energy consumption. As energy efficiency becomes increasingly important, operators are looking for smarter ways to optimize their infrastructure.  

This is where Infravista comes in: with its “Infrabox,” the startup offers a solution designed specifically to reduce energy usage at mobile network sites. At the same time, the technology enables early detection of technical issues, helping to minimize maintenance efforts and improve operational efficiency.

Through Wayra, Infravista was connected with O2 Telefónica and brought directly into operational testing environments. The Infrabox is currently being evaluated at mobile network sites, where it helps monitor and optimize cooling systems in real time. Wayra supports this process by enabling close collaboration between the startup and internal teams, ensuring that the solution is aligned with technical requirements and business needs. The ongoing tests focus not only on reducing energy consumption but also on identifying potential failures early, allowing for more efficient maintenance planning. This hands-on approach shows how innovation can be rapidly translated into measurable impact within existing infrastructure.
