4 FAQs about Instructions for Use of 60kWh Power Cabinet for 5G Macro Base Stations

Why do macro base stations need RF power drivers & amplifiers?

As wireless networks grow, macro base stations need efficient, compact solutions. Our new RF power drivers and amplifiers deliver high power, multiband support, and cost-effective designs to enhance 5G infrastructure performance and energy efficiency.

What is a small cell in 5G?

Small cells are a new part of the 5G platform that increase network capacity and speed, while also having a lower deployment cost than macrocells. The compact size of a small cell requires that all components – especially power converters – provide high eficiency, better thermals and eventually the best power density possible.

How do small cells fit into the 5G ecosystem?

A cell tower (also called a macrocell) is a huge umbrella used to provide radio signals to thousands of users in large areas with minimal obstructions. To extend the coverage of a macrocell, distributive antenna systems (DASs) are used in conjunction with the cell tower.

What is a radio cabinet?

The cabinet houses critical components like main base station equipment, transmission equipment, power supply systems, and battery banks. Meanwhile, the pole serves as a mounting point for antennas, Remote Radio Units (RRUs), and other equipment, often resembling a “candied hawthorn stick” in its configuration.
