Summary - Y.4510 (03/2025) - Functional architecture of smart power bank rental service framework

Recommendation ITU-T Y.4510 introduces the smart power bank rental (SPBR) service and specifies its functional requirements and functional architecture framework to provide guidance for device manufacturers and service providers when developing SPBR equipment and services.
With the adoption of Internet of things (IoT) technology, a smart power bank rental (SPBR) service can satisfy the on-the-go charging needs for people, improve service efficiency, and provide real-time service monitoring and management for service providers.
Relevant products of an SPBR service have emerged and developed on a certain scale in several countries and regions. Lack of standards might cause deviating capabilities and uneven performance of the service, which can lead to inconsistent service experience and limit vendors' ability to meet rising demands across the globe, thus affecting the market acceptance of this service.
