Base stations appear with their ugly images, especially all over the city. Misinformation about 5G base stations, especially during the corona virus period, caused us to become even more familiar with base stations. Now, base stations will start coming to window panes. But why are 5G base stations hiding behind glass?

Why will 5G base stations be placed on the window glass?

5G, which has already become the standard in developed countries and which we have not yet met in our country, faces an interesting problem. 5G technology has the advantage of offering high coverage even at low frequencies. This causes even medium-sized mobile network operators to offer similar coverage to giant operators. Large operators, on the other hand, are forced to install more base stations for higher network standards.

To overcome this problem, the major operators in the US have entered the race to build more base stations. But 5G base stations are ugly and take up a lot of space, just like the others. Again, the presence of anti-5G groups, especially in the US, is among the factors that tie the hands of operators.

As a solution to this problem, window panes for 5G base stations appeared as a solution. With the new base station technology, 5G and perhaps 6G base stations will now start to settle on the windows of homes and workplaces.

The most important point in this new technology is that the base station antennas are embedded in glass. Thus, these base stations, which appear in a transparent structure, do not spoil the appearance of the glass in terms of image. This new glass base station solution will eliminate the lack of space for 5G base stations. Base stations, which are also ugly, will thus become more compatible with the city.

Developed by the Japanese company AGC, this glass antenna has a technology that minimizes the distortion of radio waves as they pass through a window. The company has also optimized the 5G glass base station for C-band connectivity for giant operators such as Verizon and AT&T.

Accordingly, this 5G glass antenna can operate between 3.7 GHz and 4.5 GHz. This means that the base station is at almost the same frequency as the 3.7 GHz to 4.2 GHz C-band connection speed used in the US. Do you think this new 5G glass base station called WAVEANTENNA can solve connectivity problems? We are waiting for your comments and opinions.
