The world’s reliance on always-on technology keeps growing. Yet, the electrical infrastructure powering our wireless networks holds us back. 5G will require more of everything: RF equipment and frequencies, radios and remote radio units (RRUs), and hundreds of thousands of small cells. Running individual power to each of them from an aging power grid is too expensive and puts networks’ reliability at serious risk.

To keep pace with the changes and satisfy user expectations of 24/7 availability, we need to re-evaluate how we power, back up and manage our outdoor wireless networks as well as the impact this has on the environment. That means taking stock of where we are, where we need to be, and developing a smarter, future-capable strategy to get us from here to there.

At CommScope, we’ve done the heavy lifting, so you don’t have to. Introducing PowerShift. Two innovative end-to-end intelligent product families for powering today‘s and tomorrow’s macro and small cell networks.
