FAQs about Power consumption of Huawei 5g base station equipment

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).

Should power consumption models be used in 5G networks?

This restricts the potential use of the power models, as their validity and accuracy remain unclear. Future work includes the further development of the power consumption models to form a unified evaluation framework that enables the quantification and optimization of energy consumption and energy efficiency of 5G networks.

How many sites will adopt Huawei's 5G power solution?

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. The 5G Power solution is underpinned by breakthroughs in hardware and software and site-wide coordination.
