Can telecom lithium batteries be used in 5G telecom base stations?
5G telecom base stations have much higher power requirements compared to their 4G predecessors. The increased data traffic, larger bandwidth, and more complex network
Each nation has a different 5G strategy. For 5G, China uses 3.5GHz as the frequency. Then, a 5G base station resembles a 4G system, but it's on a much larger scale. For sub-6GHz in 5G, let's say you have a macro base station. The power levels at the antenna range from 40 watts, 80 watts or 100 watts.
Currently, researchers are looking to lithium battery technology to boost battery life and optimize 5G equipment for user expectations. However, the verdict is mixed when it comes to the utility of lithium batteries in a 5G world. In theory, 5G smartphones will be less taxed than current smartphones.
5G Base Station Market size was valued at USD 11.20 Billion in 2021 and is projected to reach USD 194.26 Billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 37.3% from 2022 to 2030. Because of the increased need for high-speed data with low latency, the 5G base station market is likely to develop significantly throughout the forecast period.
As 5G continues to expand across the globe, increasing the energy density and extending the lifetime of batteries will be vital. So market competition for problem-solving battery solutions promises to be fierce and drive innovation to meet user expectations. Interested in becoming an IEEE member?
