Since 2018, China Tower has phased out lead-acid batteries, and in 2019, its energy subsidiary partnered with enterprises to develop innovative 5G energy solutions. These initiatives have accelerated standard-setting, improved construction efficiency, and reduced capacity expansion needs.

Fuel cells can serve both as primary and backup power for 5G base stations, tackling key challenges of high energy consumption, noise, and environmental impact. Making them a perfect match for the next generation of communication infrastructure.
