In addition, a total of 819,000 5G base stations have been built by these three telecom giants, accounting for 70% of the world's total. As China has played a leading role in 5G technology, its 5G development has extraordinary significance for other countries.
The first offers 500 gigabytes of Internet surfing for NIS 60 per month for five years. The second offers a terabyte (1,000 GB) for NIS 70 per month for five years. Together, the providers say they have installed 250 5G sites throughout Israel, with more being added regularly.
Indeed, it allows to follow the progressive deployment of 5G in the world, with always a notion of quality of associated coverage. However, it should be noted that certain areas where 5G has been detected are not necessarily commercially open. Indeed, beforehand, technical tests can be carried out by operators and their subcontractors.
Regarding the collection of 5G measurements, it is done in the same way as for the previous technologies by our App users, with the difference that these users must of course be equipped with mobile and SIM card both 5G compatibleThese measurements are therefore carried out in real conditions, directly in the field.
“A 5G base station is generally expected to consume roughly three times as much power as a 4G base station. And more 5G base stations are needed to cover the same area,” -IEEE Spectrum, 5G's Waveform Is a Battery Vampire
However, Li says 5G base stations are carrying five times the traffic as when equipped with only 4G, pushing up power consumption. The carrier is seeking subsidies from the Chinese government to help with the increased energy usage.
Simulation results reveal that more than 50% of the energy is consumed by the computation power at 5G small cell BS's. Moreover, the computation power of 5G small cell BS can approach 800 watt when the massive MIMO (e.g., 128 antennas) is deployed to transmit high volume traffic.
China Mobile has tried using lower cost deployments of MIMO antennas, specifically 32T32R and sometimes 8T8R rather than 64T64R, according to MTN. However, Li says 5G base stations are carrying five times the traffic as when equipped with only 4G, pushing up power consumption.
