4 FAQs about Huawei 5g base station equipment power consumption

How much power does a 5G station use?

The power consumption of a single 5G station is 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than that of a single 4G station. The main factor behind this increase in 5G power consumption is the high power usage of the active antenna unit (AAU). Under a full workload, a single station uses nearly 3700W.

Why does 5G use more power than 4G?

The data here all comes from operators on the front lines, and we can draw the following valuable conclusions: The power consumption of a single 5G station is 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than that of a single 4G station. The main factor behind this increase in 5G power consumption is the high power usage of the active antenna unit (AAU).

Are new 5G power consumption models necessary?

Importantly, this study item indicates that new 5G power consumption models are needed to accurately develop and optimize new energy saving solutions, while also considering the complexity emerging from the implementation of state-of-the-art base station architectures.

How will a 5G network increase power consumption?

In the 5G network, low-frequency and high-frequency bands will be deployed together. To meet the service requirements of increasing network capacity, a large number of end sites will be deployed. The number of network sites will increase greatly, and the power consumption of the entire network will increase exponentially.
