Are 5G base stations sustainable?

However, due to their high radio frequency and limited coverage, the construction and operation of 5G base stations can lead to significant energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. To address this challenge, scholars have focused on developing sustainable 5G base stations.

How many 5G base stations were built in 2020?

Construction of 5G base stations accelerated in 2020 and a total of 718,800 base stations were built, resulting in a sharp increase in carbon emissions. Carbon emissions during the operational phase account for the largest proportion among the other phases of the entire lifecycle.

Will 5G Revolution & 6G innovation be a priority next year?

The move comes as the country charted its vision for industrial growth during a two-day work conference of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. With 4.19 million 5G base stations already in operation, the industry regulator said that "promoting 5G revolution and 6G innovation will be one of the priorities" next year.

What are 5G base stations?

5G base stations are categorized into micro base stations, macro base stations, and indoor sub-systems based on their transmit power and coverage. As 5G operates at a higher frequency than 4G, its coverage capability is lower and the signal penetration is poor, causing significant signal attenuation.
