London will provide electricity price subsidies for 5G base stations

4 FAQs about London will provide electricity price subsidies for 5G base stations

How much does a 5G base station cost?

Setting up a 5G base station is expensive, with costs ranging from $100,000 to $200,000 per site. This price includes hardware, installation, site rental, and maintenance. Urban areas often have higher costs due to land prices and infrastructure challenges.

Who rolled out 5G in the UK?

5G is primarily being rolled-out by private companies called mobile network operators. These are EE, O2, Vodafone and Three. The first commercial networks went live in major UK cities in 2019. Ofcom, the telecoms regulator, estimated that in September 2023, 85 to 93% of UK premises could get 5G coverage outdoors from at least one operator.

How does 5G work in the UK?

At present, almost all 5G in the UK is delivered using non-standalone (NSA) technology. NSA 5G uses new 5G equipment for the Radio Access Network (RAN, which transmits wireless signals to user devices such as smart phones) but relies on 4G infrastructure for the 'core' network (which enables connectivity to the wider internet).

Could a 5G supplier be banned from building a country's network?

Oxford Economics (Worthington, 2019) pointed out that restricting a key supplier of 5G infrastructure from helping to build a country's network would increase that UK's 5G investment costs by between 8% and 29% over the next decade. 5G deployment is not only expensive for equipment, but also for spectrum resources.
