The power supply will deliver power to small cells and other nodes in the 5G network via waterproofed wires. The size of the cabinet will depend heavily on the needs of the power supply and whether it needs to house battery backup. In some cases, the manufacturer will waterproof the power supply simply using rubber seals and impermeable plastic.
Small cells will need to be able to fit in compact environments, such as traffic lights, utility poles, and rooftops. So power supply units will need to be compact, able to fit comfortably alongside the equipment they power. There are also considerable heat dissipation issues that 5G equipment power supply units will need to accommodate.
While the overall power draw is often lower, 5G equipment has narrower tolerances. It often needs multiple, precise voltages to operate correctly, with scarce leeway on either side. In the following section, we discuss 5G infrastructure power supply considerations in more detail. 5G delivers coverage to an area in a different way from 4G.
In addition to potential damage originating on the power line, the base stations must be sturdy to environmental electrical hazards such as lightning and electrostatic discharge (ESD) strikes. Design engineers need to protect their 5G base stations from these electrical hazards to prevent damage to the bases station and avoid critical downtime.
