5G and Small Cells
Small cells are transforming the communications network, providing coverage in hard-to-reach places and offloading capacity for bandwidth-constrained macro cells. While valuable for 4G/LTE, they are absolutely essential for 5G and the requirements for ultra-low latency. Powering these distributed devices requires a toolbox of solutions tailored to each provider’s network architecture.
Electricity is not always readily available at a small cell site and connecting to the grid can be time consuming and expensive. Many network builders are now providing their own power.
With a technology called Remote Line Power (RLP), a single connection to the power grid can supply power to dozens of small cells. Utility AC power is converted to DC, which is then connected to copper cables for delivery to the remote sites. The copper cables are deployed alongside fiber backhaul cables, making it as easy to pull power as it is to pull fiber.
EnerSys is the leader in deployment of remotely powered small cells, with 10’s of thousands of sites energized by our solutions. Our Remote Line Power systems work with either DC- or AC-powered small cells, covering a wide range of input power requirements. At the source, we offer outdoor cabinets that can be centrally located to optimize connections to the small cells. We can equip cabinets with battery backup, sharing the backup among many small cells which simplifies installation and maintenance and lowers overall costs.
For sites with ready access to utility power, we offer both AC and DC solutions, with or without battery backup.
And for Multiple Service Operators (MSO’s), we have solutions for Hybrid Fiber Coax networks that not only deliver power, but also provide backhaul via the DOCSIS standards.
Powering the Small Cell revolution
Our remote power solutions provide a much faster time to market than connecting each site directly to the electrical grid. They also lower capital investment, reduce operating expenses, enhance network reliability and resiliency, and eliminate batteries at the network edge. We have already powered thousands of small cells with our remote power solutions, and have solutions that will truly help make routine deployment of Small Cells and 5G a reality.
