3 FAQs about Tokyo Mobile Communication Green Base Station 100KWh

Does SK Telecom & NTT DoCoMo have energy saving capabilities?

According to the measurements and analyses conducted by SK Telecom and NTT DOCOMO, there are some gaps in the implemented features and the energy saving capabilities among different vendors’ equipment and there is still room to improve energy consumption in the equipment.

Do SK Telecom and NTT DoCoMo conduct energy consumption tests?

SK Telecom and NTT DOCOMO carried out energy consumption tests for various types of RUs under the same measurement conditions and methodology. In the tests, energy consumption of RUs was measured when they were in the idle mode, but not in the maximum traffic load condition.

What is a base station equipment?

The base station equipment consists of two parts. BBU performs baseband processing. RU converts baseband signals to radio signals or vice versa for transmission or reception over antennas. Table 2.1 shows a comparison of energy consumption between BBUs and RUs of various types of equipment used by SK Telecom.
