Selecting the Right Supplies for Powering 5G Base Stations
These tools simplify the task of selecting the right power management solutions for these devices and, thereby, provide an optimal power solution for 5G base stations components.
A single small cell site/node, which covers three sectors and multiple frequency bands, may need 200 to 2000 W of power, depending on the size of the sector(s). Typical distances between these sites range from 200 to 500 m. 5G small cells are an excellent solution to deliver enhanced mobile broadband, low latency, and reliable service to users.
This half-brick, isolated DC-DC series is excellent for RRH applications, as well as macro, micro, and pico base stations and femto cells. Other Advanced Energy solutions that are appropriate for 5G RAN are eighth- half-, and full-brick isolated DC-DC converters with the capability of low noise, regulated DC supply that RF power amplifiers require.
Based on the concept of Bit Manages Watt, 5G power solutions use AI and Cloud technologies to implement multi-level intelligent collaboration between power supply and site devices, as well as power supply and network devices. Functional power supplies develop into intelligent ones, which greatly reduce the CAPEX and OPEX of sites.
The high cost of operating and maintaining 5G is unaffordable for carriers if the traditional O&M is performed. Thus the O&M mode of 5G power solutions needs to be more efficient and simpler. Traditional power solution provides only basic power supply and backup functionalities. They cannot support the deployment requirements of 5G.
