5G network deployment and the associated energy consumption
However, the total power consumption of a single 5G base station is about four times that of a single 4G base station and considering the high density the overall power
Setting up a 5G base station is expensive, with costs ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per site. This price includes hardware, installation, site rental, and maintenance. Urban areas often have higher costs due to land prices and infrastructure challenges.
The cost of base stations and antennas can range from $50,000 to $200,000 based on coverage needs. The number of units required will depend on the area size and the density of users. Installation costs for these components can add an additional $20,000 to $100,000. The network core is vital for managing data traffic and connections.
Initial costs can be around $100,000. Backhaul connectivity, which links the core network to the internet, can also be a significant expense, often costing $30,000 to $80,000. Understanding these costs is essential for budgeting and planning your private 5G deployment effectively.
Here's a look at the main costs involved: The core network is the backbone of your private 5G setup. Investing in core network equipment can cost around $300,000 initially, with annual licensing fees that may reach $100,000. However, as the market grows, these costs are expected to decrease, making it more affordable for enterprises.
