Can laser power supply also be implemented in 5G base stations?

The application of laser-based wireless power transfer technology to 5G base stations is still in the R&D phase and has a considerable way to go before it can be fully implemented. However, from the broader perspective of communication technology, extending "wireless power transfer" from smartphones to 5G base stations represents an important step in the evolution of power transmission. This development will be of great significance—both for ordinary users and for telecom operators.
Remember Xiaomi’s air-charging technology, which was unveiled earlier this year? Compared to the mainstream contact-based wireless charging currently available on the market, this technology truly enables smartphones to “wirelessly harvest power” from a distance. And recently, this “black-tech” application has been further expanded—now it’s being used to power 5G base stations, marking a milestone in the history of 5G infrastructure development.
On October 4, Ericsson announced a collaboration with PowerLight Technologies, a laser innovation company, to achieve a proof-of-concept in Seattle. The collaboration successfully demonstrated the world’s first secure 5G base station that relies entirely on wireless power delivery. In this solution, power is supplied via optical beams—a laser-based technology that converts electricity into high-intensity light, which is then captured by the wireless base station and converted back into electrical energy, enabling remote power supply.
