With the rapid deployment of 5G networks across the country, the three major operators have officially announced that they will shut down some 5G base stations in the middle of the night. This move has attracted widespread attention, which is not only related to the network experience of users, but also reflects the many problems faced by operators in the construction of 5G networks.
Turning off 5G base stations is in line with user habits
Since the commercial use of 5G, the three major operators have actively promoted the construction of 5G base stations. At present, the 5G network coverage rate has exceeded 90%, making the mainland the largest 5G country in the world.
But at the same time, it should also be noted that in the middle of the night, people fall asleep, and most application scenarios do not have high requirements for network bandwidth. Shutting down some 5G base stations can reduce operators' energy consumption costs and is more in line with users' usage habits.
The shutdown of the base station helps operators save electricity costs
Operators in mainland China are facing greater pressure on electricity bills. According to the current electricity price system, shutting down 5G base stations that are idle late at night can significantly reduce operating costs.
Taking China Mobile as an example, if 10% of 5G base stations are shut down nationwide, it can save more than 1 billion yuan in electricity costs a year. This helps to alleviate the cost pressure on operators and improve operational efficiency.
Shutting down a base station requires accurate identification of idle resources
To achieve the goal of shutting down 5G base stations in the middle of the night, operators need to use big data algorithms to accurately identify idle resources. For example, according to the user usage characteristics in different areas, only the base stations with very low traffic utilization can be turned off;
Another example is to determine that key base stations are open 24 hours a day to ensure communication needs. This saves costs while maintaining a customer experience.
The shutdown of the base station should ensure communication support such as disaster relief
When shutting down 5G base stations, operators must ensure the security and stability of the communication network. First, it is necessary to reserve sufficient communication capacity to prevent network congestion;
Second, key government and disaster relief communications need to be kept open to prevent the impact of power outages, earthquakes and other emergencies on communications. This requires operators to adopt a more prudent closure strategy.
The shutdown of base stations helps to reduce the electricity load on society
During the two sessions of the Chinese People's Congress and the Chinese People's Congress, it was proposed that the proportion of non-fossil energy should reach 25% by 2030.
Shutting down some 5G base stations can reduce the overall electricity load of society, help optimize and upgrade the mainland's energy structure, and achieve green and low-carbon development. This is also an important measure for communication operators to cope with global climate change.
Shutting down a base station requires balancing the interests of multiple parties
When it comes to shutting down 5G base stations, operators need to consider their own costs and benefits, as well as balance the network experience of users, the communication needs of society, and the country's green development requirements.
This requires a scientific development of a plan for the closure of base stations to ensure a balance of interests of multiple parties. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen coordination and cooperation with power grid enterprises.
The official announcement of the three major operators to close 5G base stations can not only save costs for enterprises, but also help promote green and low-carbon development, which is worthy of in-depth study and implementation by operators.
However, in the process of implementation, it is necessary to ensure the quality of the network and take into account important needs such as rescue communication. This move marks that 5G construction has entered a more rational and scientific stage of development, and operators should strengthen forward-looking research and continuously enhance the economic and social benefits of 5G networks.
