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 total cost of 5G infrastructure is staggering, with projections estimating that telecom companies will spend over $2 trillion globally by 2030. This includes investments in spectrum, network densification, fiber backhaul, energy-efficient infrastructure, and emerging technologies such as AI and automation.
The cost of deploying a private 5G network for enterprises typically falls between $250,000 and $1 million, depending on the size and complexity of the installation. Unlike public networks, private 5G is customized for specific business needs, such as industrial automation, smart factories, and secure corporate communications.
Upgrading existing 4G sites to 5G costs between $20,000 and $50,000 per site Instead of building entirely new sites, many telcos upgrade existing 4G towers to 5G, which costs between $20,000 and $50,000 per site. This is a more cost-effective approach, as it utilizes existing infrastructure.
According to the above calculation, the total electricity cost of 5G base stations will reach about 10 times that of 4G. Moreover, we know that 5G consumes a lot of power and generates a lot
