Conventional antenna production consumes a lot of power and can easily produce pollution, especially during the electroplating and soldering processes.

The manufacturing process of a product, from raw material extraction to final assembly, can have a substantial environmental impact. In the case of antennas, the specific materials used, energy required, and pollutants emitted during production are key factors influencing its overall environmental footprint

The realization of green antenna manufacturing hinges on a synergistic approach that combines innovations in product architecture, production processes, and physical form. These elements are interconnected and must be developed in tandem to maximize environmental benefits.

Antennas, as fundamental components of wireless networks, offer a significant opportunity to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions. By innovating antenna technologies, we can optimize network performance while minimizing environmental impact. This white paper explores the key areas of technological advancement for base station antennas to drive sustainable wireless networks.
