What are 5G base stations?
5G base stations are categorized into micro base stations, macro base stations, and indoor sub-systems based on their transmit power and coverage. As 5G operates at a higher frequency than 4G, its coverage capability is lower and the signal penetration is poor, causing significant signal attenuation.
How much does a 5G base station weigh?
The equipment weights of a macro base station and a micro base station are 1.04±0.03 and 0.3 ± 0.01 tons, respectively. At present, most 5G base stations are upgraded or constructed based on 4G base stations in China and ca. 97% of the towers are constructed based on existing site resources (Meng, ).
How many 5G sites are there in China?
Mobile operators in China are ramping up 5G and 5G-A rollouts, with the former now at 4.5 million cell sites and the latter in 300 cities; a new roadmap will see 75% of mobile data in the country on 5G networks. 5G on 5M sites – China has over 4.486 million 5G sites; 5G now comprises more than 35% of total mobile base stations.
Can a 5G base station promote green development of mobile communication facilities?
However, a significant reduction of ca. 42.8% can be achieved by optimizing the power structure and base station layout strategy and reducing equipment power consumption. Overall, this study provides a clear approach to assess the environmental impact of the 5G base station and will promote the green development of mobile communication facilities.
Is 5G suitable for building large-scale macro base stations?
The 5G base station can be roughly divided into a macro base station, a micro base station, and a room subsystem according to the coverage range. The coverage capacity of 5G is much lower compared to 4G due to its high frequency. Thus, 5G is not suitable for building large-scale macro base stations (Zhou, ).
