Why does 5g base station consume so much power and how to
One advantage of using SUV deployment base stations in the early stages of China''s 5G network construction is that. 5G base stations can be directly installed on the
Higher bandwidths and compression techniques will let 5G networks shuttle more data through systems in a given period, leaving more power-saving idle time. In light of this, the move to 5G infrastructure is necessitating new power supply design considerations.
The power supply will deliver power to small cells and other nodes in the 5G network via waterproofed wires. The size of the cabinet will depend heavily on the needs of the power supply and whether it needs to house battery backup. In some cases, the manufacturer will waterproof the power supply simply using rubber seals and impermeable plastic.
Masts in 5G systems have more control over their own operation instead of being controlled by a central tower. However, these changes mean that power supplies need to evolve. Small cells will need to be able to fit in compact environments, such as traffic lights, utility poles, and rooftops.
The backhaul part of the 5G network connects the access interface - including masts, eNodeB, and cell site gateway - to the mobile core and internet beyond. And just like the access equipment, it too has specific power supply requirements. Backhaul power supplies must cater to aggregation routers and core routers.
