ATIS launches of development of a new power standard for 5G

ATIS today announced the launch of development of a new power standard to expedite the deployment of 5G, small cells and other distributed networks. The work addresses the need for a standard for remotely powering distributed devices that consume more than the 100-Watt constraint identified by other industry standards. Small cells are key enablers of 5G and 4G/LTE networks. Deploying thousands of new devices requires innovations in power technology as well as engineering and installation practices, as current standards do not address these devices’ high power-consumption requirements.

The forthcoming ATIS standard is expected to take at least a year to develop.
