Today I will share an article related to 5G base stations. I hope everyone has a deeper understanding of 5G:

The maximum coverage area of a 5G base station is 10,000 square kilometers. In fact, the maximum coverage distance of a 2/3/4G single base station is 100 kilometers. Then do you know how many meters a 5G base station can cover?

1. How many meters are a point for a 5G base station

The maximum coverage area of a 5G base station is 10,000 square kilometers. In fact, the maximum coverage distance of a 2/3/4G single base station is 100 kilometers.

Calculating the coverage distance of a base station requires consideration of geographical conditions. The main models here may be divided into four main models: dense urban areas, general urban areas, suburbs, and rural areas.

The issues that need to be considered are also capacity requirements and edge rate requirements (including uplink and downlink rate requirements). As far as 5G is concerned, because it is TDD, it also involves the ratio of uplink and downlink.

At present, 5G base stations are mainly laid in urban areas. The network demand in urban areas is about 0.5 km, and the suburban area is about 1.5 km. In some rural areas, the base station density is about 5 kilometers, and the density of base stations is about 200 meters in first-tier cities. It is necessary to install one. It can be seen that the laying of 5G base stations is still very difficult and very difficult.

2. What is the coverage of a 5G base station?

The coverage area of a 5G base station is about 250 meters, and the coverage area of a 4G base station is about one kilometer, so that the coverage area of a 4G base station needs about 4 5G base stations to cover. So far, we have built 4.4 million 4G base stations, which is more than the total of 4G base stations in all countries. If all the coverage of these base stations is covered by 5G base stations, then it will be necessary to fully build a 5G network. The number of 5G base stations reached 17.6 million.
