Get StartedThis 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.
It supports a 24 kW rectifier, 600 Ah lithium battery, and 3.5 kW cooling system in a single cabinet. 5G Power meets power supply and backup demands for co-deployed 2G/3G/4G and 5G hardware using a One Cabinet for One Site solution. Traditional solutions, on the other hand, require more cabinets.
5G network construction differs significantly from 4G in terms of networking modes, product forms, and performance parameters. The power consumption of 5G hardware is between two and four times greater than 4G, posing unprecedented challenges for site infrastructure construction.
In Hangzhou, the 5G Power solution deployed by China Tower and Huawei supports one cabinet for one site and boasts smart features like intelligent peak shaving, intelligent voltage boosting, and intelligent energy storage. 1. One Cabinet for One Site
The site's average load is 1.4 kW, with peak loads of 2.7 kW. However, the AC power limit is 1.6 kW. When 5G services were added in tests, peak loads exceeded the power limit. 5G Power's intelligent peak shaving technology leverages smart energy scheduling algorithms of software-defined power supply and intelligent energy storage.
China Tower planned to build or retrofit about 2 million 5G sites between 2019 and 2022. An estimated 800,000 of these sites will adopt Huawei's 5G Power solution, eliminating 900 million kg in carbon emissions every year, helping to realize targets for green power grids for the 5G era.
