PAM power consumption accounts for approximately 75% of the total power consumed by an RU. By integrating this PAM into RUs, NEC aims to reduce device power consumption and size. NEC plans to incorporate this PAM into new RUs scheduled for release in the first half of fiscal year 2026 and also envisions a global deployment of the PAM as a standalone product, including its application in base stations from other manufacturers. New Power Amplifier Module for 5G Base Station Radio Units (Front/Back)This PAM integrates NEC’s strengths in high-efficiency circuit design technology using GaN devices, high-density mounting technology, and simulation expertise related to load modulation methods. Specifically, it achieves a high Power-Added Efficiency (PAE) of 50%, indicating the proportion of supplied DC power that can be used for amplifying radio signals.
