Technical FAQs 4

How much does a 5G base station cost?

Setting up a 5G base station is expensive, with costs ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per site. This price includes hardware, installation, site rental, and maintenance. Urban areas often have higher costs due to land prices and infrastructure challenges.

How much does it cost to upgrade a 4G tower?

Instead of building entirely new sites, many telcos upgrade existing 4G towers to 5G, which costs between $20,000 and $50,000 per site. This is a more cost-effective approach, as it utilizes existing infrastructure. The challenge is ensuring that these upgrades meet the full potential of 5G. Simply adding new radios may not be enough.

Can 5G power slash site retrofitting costs?

In 2019, the 5G Power solution won ITU's Global Industry Award for Sustainable Impact. For operators, it provides a replicable power solution that can slash site retrofitting costs. 5G Power is based on intelligent technologies like peak shaving, voltage boosting, and energy storage.

Why does 5G cost more than 4G?

This percentage will increase significantly with 5G because a gNodeB uses at least twice as much electricity as a 4G base station. The more operators spend on electricity, the more difficult it is to price their 5G services competitively and profitably.
