(Summary description)The application of laser wireless power supply technology to 5G base stations is still in the research and development stage, and there is still a certain way to go before landing. However, from the perspective of communication in a broad sense, the expansion of "power from the air" from smart phones to 5G base stations is an important step in the process of power transmission, which will be of great significance for both ordinary users and communication operators. Remember the air charging technology released by Xiaomi at the beginning of this year? Compared with the current mainstream contact wireless charging on the market, this technology truly enables smart phones to "take electricity" wirelessly. In recent days, this "black technology" application has been further expanded-realized in 5G base station power supply, taking a milestone step in the history of 5G base station construction. On October 4th, Ericsson announced the cooperation with the laser innovation company PowerLight Technologies to achieve a proof-of-concept in Seattle and successfully demonstrated the world's first safe 5G base station with a completely wireless power supply method. The power supply method in the solution uses optical beams. -A laser-based technology that converts electricity into high-intensity light, which is then captured by a wireless base station and converted into electrical energy for remote power supply.
