5G Base Station Shared Electricity Tower Put into Operation

Recently, Jiangxi's first both power transmission and 5G communication function of the “shared power tower” in Ji'an City, put into operation, marking the electric power and communication of the two basic industries in the reuse of resources and cross-border integration has made substantial progress.

The tower is made of ordinary power tower technology transformation, 5G communication equipment directly installed in the tower, realizing the safe coexistence of power and communication functions. According to the technician: “We integrate 5G equipment by reusing the existing tower space, using three-dimensional modeling to verify the impact of the new load, to ensure the safe coexistence of electric power and communication functions, saving 15 tons of steel, reducing construction costs of about 800,000 yuan.”With the promotion of “a tower of two” or even “a tower of many” mode, the power tower is transformed from a single transmission carrier into a new integrated infrastructure platform that integrates ubiquitous IOT perception, mobile communications and other multi-functional.

In the future, State Grid Jiangxi power sector will continue to optimize the cooperation mechanism, to explore the power infrastructure sharing new scenes, new models, to accelerate the formation of strategic emerging industries with Jiangxi characteristics of the new layout, new business model.
