Base stations

One NSN Flexi multiradio base station consumes 790W (0.79kWh) of power (*)

There are roughly 200 000 3G base stations in China (**)

In total that a means power consumption of 1384 GWh / year

A studio appartment consumes roughly 1.25 MWh / year (***)

With the power used for those 3G base stations we could cover electricity needs of homes for 1.1 million people

In Tampere Finland there lives 214 000 people
