Brazil 4G & 5G LTE Base Station Market AI Impact
The southeastern and southern parts of Brazil are expected to see rapid 5G deployment, with technology giants and telecom operators focusing their efforts on these
Since that date, all 5,570 towns and cities in Brazil have been approved for 5G, although actual network deployments vary among operators. Three-and-a-half years after receiving its 5G licenses, Vivo —Brazil's largest mobile operator by subscriptions—can claim the country's most extensive 5G subscription base.
This restricts the potential use of the power models, as their validity and accuracy remain unclear. Future work includes the further development of the power consumption models to form a unified evaluation framework that enables the quantification and optimization of energy consumption and energy efficiency of 5G networks.
That's almost a threefold increase compared to 4G (5). One 5G base station is estimated to consume about as much power as 73 households (6), and 3x as much as the previous generation of base stations (5), (7).
Furthermore, the base stations dominate the energy consumption of the radio access network. Therefore, it is reasonable to focus on the power consumption of the base stations first, while other aspects such as virtualization of compute in the 5G core or the energy consumption of user equipment should be considered at a later stage.
