5G : The success of the new network will depend on its energy management
Vertiv brings to the fore an important detail that must be considered so that the new generation of mobile communications does not become a headache for operators , governments and users in general in terms of energy consumption .
In this infographic , Vertiv shows how it evolves in response to user demands and the potential to develop new businesses based on more robust , intelligent and efficient mobile networks .
For example , data traffic will go from 100 exabytes in 2021 to more than 2,000 exabytes in 2027 , while 3G and 4G networks will average 1,000 exabytes .
And that traffic intensity also implies a forecast regarding energy consumption . Fortunately , the latest generation networks are more efficient , according to the information collected by Vertiv and the savings can be 90 % per unit of data when applying 5G technologies .
Either way , new tasks and challenges come for 5G networks . We must consider the rise of trends such as
It is essential to note the rise of the concept of Edge Computing which , by offering processing and information closer to the operation , will also require more energy .
