Adhesive & Thermal Management Solutions for 5G Wireless Connectivity

Expanding the mobile broadband spectrum, 5G wireless connectivity extends mobility and low-latency to a wide range of applications – from cars to homes to the doctor’s office. Quickly receiving and routing signals requires greater quantities of higher-power, high-performance systems and Henkel is enhancing their operational lifetime and performance.

5G Applications

Quickly and Reliably Connecting Wireless Signals

5G base stations are central to the networks’ performance, enabling broad wireless coverage and facilitating fast signal transmission. Expansion of base station capability to accommodate 5G expectations for movement of more data at higher speeds has driven the integration of high-power processors/ASICs and hardware components, as well as the growth of various base band architectures, such as small cells. In addition to protection, one of the primary elements of dependable function is the ability to manage ever-fluctuating thermal loads. Henkel’s materials are providing the critical thermal management needed for long-term reliability.

High Performance Materials for Rugged Environments

Next-generation 5G equipment is subjected to demanding environments and expected to provide a long deployment lifespan. Servicing the devices can be challenging and weather conditions are unpredictable. Because of this, durability and reliability of their structure and electronic components are critical. Enabling protection and thermal control are fundamental to operational performance and longevity of remote radios and wireless arrays; and its why leaders in this space select Henkel materials.

Shorter signal lengths within the higher frequency bands of 5G often need a boost, especially in crowded areas like urban environments. To achieve robust connectivity, 5G signals are amplified through the use of small cells. They’re everywhere, critical to connectivity and need to work dependably 24/7. Henkel helps make that happen.

Dependable Access Extending 5G’s Reach

Active antenna unit helps secure fast and seamless connectivity, particularly in congested areas where offloading traffic from 5G mobile networks can accelerate data rates. Enabling better connections at homes, hospitals, schools, outdoor venues and other locations where capacity and reliability are essential – even into rural areas -- Henkel materials are key to the durability and function of fixed WiFi 6 and WiFi 6E wireless access components and devices.
