Technical FAQs 4

What is a communication base station power supply?

Communication base station power supply in the tower room power supply system is an essential and important part of the mobile communication network. The current communication power supply voltage level is divided into DC-48V (+24V), AC 220/380V. Communication industry equipment generally use -48V DC power supply, positive grounding, why?

What is a base station & a PV powering Unit?

The base station uses radio signals to connect devices to network as a part of traditional cellular telephone network and solar powering unit is used to power it. The PV powering unit uses solar panels to generate electricity for base stations in areas with no access to grid or areas connected to unreliable grids.

Why do communication base stations use -48V power supply?

Communication base stations use -48V power supply for most historical reasons. Historically, the communications industry equipment has been using -48V DC power supply. -48V is also known as positive ground.

How much power does a base station have?

Maximum base station power is limited to 38 dBm output power for Medium-Range base stations, 24 dBm output power for Local Area base stations, and to 20 dBm for Home base stations. This power is defined per antenna and carrier, except for home base stations, where the power over all antennas (up to four) is counted.
