Technical FAQs 4

How much power does a base station have?

Maximum base station power is limited to 38 dBm output power for Medium-Range base stations, 24 dBm output power for Local Area base stations, and to 20 dBm for Home base stations. This power is defined per antenna and carrier, except for home base stations, where the power over all antennas (up to four) is counted.

How much energy does a 3G base station use?

It also depends on the number of calls at that time which is lower during the night time than at daytime. For instance, a typical 3G base station consumes about 500 W of input power to produce about 40 W of RF power making it the average annual energy consumption of 3G base station around 4.5 MWh.

What is the maximum base station Power?

Maximum base station power is limited to 24 dBm output power for Local Area base stations and to 20 dBm for Home base stations, counting the power over all antennas (up to four). There is no maximum base station power defined for Wide Area base stations.

How much power does a solar base station use?

Maximum consumption of base station is 2.0 kW and the power generated from the solar panels is 4.19 kW. The high-capacity rechargeable batteries can store between 14 and 16 hours’ worth of power when energy from sun is not available.
