The operation of a 5G network consumes approximately half as much electricity as a 4G network. The operators expect that 5G will be 10 times more energy efficient than 4G by 2025 and will increase its efficiency 20 times by 2030.
The chairman of Hightel Towers, Gaetano Buglisi, declared this at the 5G&Co conference. He said that the first aspect of improvement in the environmental field is linked to the technical efficiency of 5G networks, which has significantly increased. "The transition towards 5G carried out by operators does not only mean an increase in speed but also an increase in sustainability on their part," he said. The conference was held in New York, USA, and was attended by more than 2,000 people.
