Infrastructure Evolution: Preparing for 5G Deployment
Transitioning to 5G technology means understanding the infrastructure components required for successful deployment. Examine and consider all the 5G factors in, Infrastructure Evolution: Preparing for 5G Deployment, by C&D industry expert Magnus Bjelkefelt.
This paper (the second in C&D's 5G series) outlines the critical components necessary for 5G deployment, the advantages of adopting cloud-native technologies, the significance of edge computing, and the integration of macro sites and small cells within the Radio Access Network (RAN). Additionally, it addresses the importance of energy management and the role of advanced energy storage solutions in ensuring a sustainable and resilient 5G network.
The deployment of 5G necessitates a denser network of small cells and base stations to support its high-frequency bands, which have shorter ranges. This increased infrastructure leads to higher total energy consumption, even if the energy efficiency per bit is improved."
