Communication Base Station Cost Optimization: Navigating the
Their base station deployment optimization approach combined Open RAN architecture with solar-diesel hybrid systems, slashing energy costs by 60% in rural installations.
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.
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.
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.
A report from GSMA about 5G network cost suggests up to 140% more energy consumption than 4G . Energy saving measures in MNOs are needs rather than nice-to-have. What is more important is that sustainability has risen to the top of the agenda for many industries, including telecoms.
