Mobile telephones and base stations -osioetusivun ingressi

Data communication between the mobile phone and the base station takes place via radio waves. A portion of the energy of radio waves is absorbed in the user’s body, as the phone is kept close to the body when the phone is used. Base stations with a wide coverage area use a clearly higher transmit power than mobile phones. Antennas with a high transmit power must be mounted in locations which prevent people from finding themselves in their proximity.

5G network and radiation safety

Mobile phone operators are marketing faster, wireless next-generation telecommunications over the 5G network for consumers and businesses. The new technology has sparked discussion about radiation safety. The limit values protect us from the health effects of both short- and long-term exposure. Therefore, there is no need to be concerned about radiation exposure caused by the 5G network.
