5G Telecommunications Applications

The latest commercialized generation for broadband cellular networks is called 5G. The commercialization and development of 5G networks are very intensive globally currently. The main drivers in 5G telecommunication are more efficient connectivity by offering higher data speeds, ultra-low latency, and massive network capacity. The increased power densities of 5G products also set higher requirements for thermal management systems used in 5G base stations.
 
Thermal management is an essential part of 5G technology products and evolution. Many electronic components in the 5G base stations generate heat inside encapsulated 5G base station units. Power amplifiers, converters, receivers, transmitters, and SoC/SiC components require efficient cooling. The reliability and lifetime of the 5G base stations are very critical when their maintenance of them is very demanding but also expensive. Better thermal management improves the performance of the 5G base station products. At the same time, the trend in developing next-generation 5G base station units is toward lighter solutions. Heat sink solutions significantly impact the weight of 5G products. Hence, thermal management solution significantly affects both performance and weight.

The challenge

The outdoor installations of 5G base station units also set high requirements for electronics and their cooling. Extreme environments and high ambient temperatures increase the need for maintenance and the risk of failures if thermal management solutions are not optimized. Reliability is crucial in a telecommunication business, products, and applications.

NEOcore technology enables lighter, more reliable, and higher-performance solutions in 5G telecommunication applications.

CooliBlade’s new NEOcore technology brings thermal management to the next level in 5G applications. NEOcore is the first integrated thermal channel realized by a pure aluminum structure where all thermal interfaces are optimized from the heat source to the air interface: The phase change principle inside of NEOcore solutions optimizes the extreme thermal connection from the heat source in the evaporator to the thermal channel which brings the heat instantly to the whole heat sink structure. The condenser area includes the application-optimized fins structures to maximize the performance of the NEOcore solution.
 
One of the biggest challenges in designing 5G base stations and antennas is the weight. Currently, most of the base station weight and space requirements pertain to the electronic cooling element. With NEOcore technology, the importance of cooling units for 5G radio can be reduced by 60-70 percent. Another significant advantage of NEOcore technology is that it offers a passive option for demanding cooling applications due to its high thermal dissipation capability. Active cooling doesn’t need to handle high thermal loads from powerful electronic components, which is significant in 5G applications. 
 
CooliBlade offers custom solutions for demanding 5G base station products, and the easiest way to start is to share the specifications of thermal management solutions with our experts. Our R&D team reviews the specifications and gives a free feasibility evaluation of the application’s technical requirements that NEOcore technology can meet. The smooth, transparent, and fast development cycle starts with prototype design. When the prototype has passed comprehensive tests, the production unit development and production ramp-up are easy to complete quickly and professionally. Check out our development process and evaluation tool from the following link. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you need more information about NEOcore technology and how it could be used in 5G applications.

The benefits for 5G base station designers

The design challenges of next-generation 5G base stations set the requirements for thermal management higher than in the past. CooliBlade’s NEOcore technology offers extreme performance combined lightweight structure. NEOcore technology brings heat from the hot components efficiently and instantly away from the product’s hot spots. Integrating many form factors in collaboration with customer design teams is easy. The appropriate cooling solutions can extend the lifetime of critical components even in the most demanding outdoor applications. The efficient performance of heat dissipation maximizes the performance of 5G products and features even in the most extreme outdoor conditions.

We offer an innovative and solution-driven team and our proprietary NEOcore cooling technology to help our customers design advanced 5G base station products with maximal efficiency and reliability. Our design process, from the thermal simulation, and concept designs to prototyping and manufacturing, can be adjusted based on the customer requirements and processes.
