Because it is estimated that in 5G, the base station's density is expected to exceed 40–50 BSs/ Km 2 . The energy consumption of the 5G network is driving attention and many world-leading network operators have launched alerts about the increased power consumption of the 5G mobile infrastructure .
Setting up a 5G base station is expensive, with costs ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per site. This price includes hardware, installation, site rental, and maintenance. Urban areas often have higher costs due to land prices and infrastructure challenges.
However, transitioning from non-standalone (NSA) 5G to SA 5G comes with a hefty price tag—between $1 billion and $3 billion per operator. Unlike NSA 5G, which relies on existing 4G infrastructure, SA 5G requires a brand-new core network. This includes cloud-based architecture, advanced data centers, and software-defined networking.
The total cost of 5G infrastructure is staggering, with projections estimating that telecom companies will spend over $2 trillion globally by 2030. This includes investments in spectrum, network densification, fiber backhaul, energy-efficient infrastructure, and emerging technologies such as AI and automation.
