DESIGNING FOR LOW POWER
Power consumption is becoming an increasingly important variable when it comes to calculating OPEX and carbon footprint for telecom infrastructure projects. For example, on average, each fully loaded 3G cell site costs approximately $1600/yr US or $3200/yr in Europe. In addition to these costs, the level of consumption per cell site leads to an estimated 11 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per cell site per year.
For these operators, power equals cost. FPGAs are becoming one of the most important facets of basestation architectures, and so the spotlight has fallen on them to minimize power consumption.
