Research on Electromagnetic Radiation Safety Assessment of Co-construction and Sharing 5G Network

Abstract

Overview

The rapid development of 5G technology has raised significant societal and public concerns regarding the safety of electromagnetic radiation from 5G base stations. This study focuses on evaluating electromagnetic radiation propagation from 5G mMIMO beam-forming technology and the associated safety standards.

Findings

• Analysis of electromagnetic radiation from 5G Sub 6G base stations co-shared by China Telecom and China Unicom, with real-time in-situ monitoring.
• Comparison of China's national electromagnetic radiation limits with international standards, highlighting China's standards being significantly stricter.
• Assessment of electromagnetic radiation levels under intense usage scenarios, demonstrating compliance with both Chinese and international standards.

Conclusion

The study concludes that despite the powerful capabilities of 5G technology, the radiation levels from these base stations are well within safe limits as defined by both Chinese national and international standards. It suggests that with appropriate pre-assessment and ongoing monitoring, radiation risks in sensitive areas can be effectively managed.
