Technical FAQs 4

How much power does a base station have?

Maximum base station power is limited to 38 dBm output power for Medium-Range base stations, 24 dBm output power for Local Area base stations, and to 20 dBm for Home base stations. This power is defined per antenna and carrier, except for home base stations, where the power over all antennas (up to four) is counted.

What is base station Power?

Base station power refers to the output power level of base stations, which is defined by specific maximum limits (24 dBm for Local Area base stations and 20 dBm for Home base stations) and includes tolerances for deviation from declared power levels, as well as specifications for total power control dynamic range. How useful is this definition?

What is the maximum base station Power?

Maximum base station power is limited to 24 dBm output power for Local Area base stations and to 20 dBm for Home base stations, counting the power over all antennas (up to four). There is no maximum base station power defined for Wide Area base stations.

How much power does a cellular base station use?

A cellular base station can use anywhere from 1 to 5 kW power per hour depending upon the number of transceivers attached to the base station, the age of cell towers, and energy needed for air conditioning. Cellular base stations use power without any interruption and also needs maintenance.
