Here's a 2016 Nokia blog article about it: <a href="https://www.nokia.com/blog/water-cool-new-way-take-heat-base-station-site-energy-costs/" rel="nofollow">https://www.nokia.com/blog/water-cool-new-way-take-heat-base...</a><p>Besides the video being totally cute I remember Ben Krasnow (Applied Science) mentioning in his video about making liquid air that this was frequently used in mobile base stations. I thought it would perhaps be used for super conductivity, but pretty definitely for cooling (dude in the video says other stations are air cooled). Am I thinking of something else?
How much power does a 5G base station consume compared to a 4G? From what I understand, more stations will be needed for this technology.<p>The European Union has been talking about digitisation and green new deal for economic recovery, but investing in 5G means spending a lot of materials on both stations and mobile phones. It can also mean an increase in energy consumption for both stations and mobile phones.<p>It seems to me that the two objectives may conflict with each other.
