Technical FAQs 4

How much power does a 5G base station use?

Each nation has a different 5G strategy. For 5G, China uses 3.5GHz as the frequency. Then, a 5G base station resembles a 4G system, but it’s on a much larger scale. For sub-6GHz in 5G, let’s say you have a macro base station. The power levels at the antenna range from 40 watts, 80 watts or 100 watts.

What is a 5G base station?

A 5G network base-station connects other wireless devices to a central hub. A look at 5G base-station architecture includes various equipment, such as a 5G base station power amplifier, which converts signals from RF antennas to BUU cabinets (baseband unit in wireless stations).

How much power does a 4G base station use?

A 4G base station has a transmission power of 40 W for a bandwidth of 20 MHz for each sector (there are typically three sectors) and uses eight transmission and eight reception antennas. In contrast, a 5G base station has a transmission power of 240 W for a bandwidth of 100 MHz and uses 64 transmission and 64 reception antennas.

How many 5G base stations would a cell phone tower support?

Hundreds of 5G base stations will need to be installed to cover the area of a single cell phone tower. Even if just 100 base stations were required, 5G’s would support at least 25,000 devices to 4G’s 100. 5G smartphones are being released all the time.
