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.
Although the absolute value of the power consumption of 5G base stations is increasing, their energy efficiency ratio is much lower than that of 4G stations. In other words, with the same power consumption, the network capacity of 5G will be as dozens of times larger than 4G, so the power consumption per bit is sharply reduced.
The explosive growth of mobile data traffic has resulted in a significant increase in the energy consumption of 5G base stations (BSs).
However, this technological leap comes with a substantial increase in energy consumption. Compared to its predecessor, the fourth-generation (4G) network, the energy consumption of the 5G network is approximately three times higher .
Protect your electrical systems with our IP67 enclosures, built to withstand dust, water, and tough industrial conditions. Choose from rugged polycarbonate electrical enclosures, durable ABS enclosures, and fully sealed IP67 boxes suited to outdoor, washdown, and high-impact environments.
IP67 is an ingress protection rating that guarantees your enclosure is completely dust-tight and can withstand immersion in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. This means your electrical components stay safe from dust, water spray, and heavy jets, making it ideal for tough industrial conditions.
If your product has the potential to be exposed to liquid ingress such rainwater or spray cleaning, we advise IP rated enclosure is required. In this category you will find our complete range of IP67 enclosures along with higher rated IP68 enclosures.
IP Rating or Ingress Protection is the term used to determine the degree of protection an object achieves from the intrusion of solid objects and liquids. IP67 is defined as being completely protected against intrusion from solid objects and protected against the effects of immersion between 15cm and 1m (up to 30 minutes).
