FAQS 4

How far does a cell phone tower fall from a base station?

In most cases, having a cell phone tower on the roof of your building will create a shadow zone immediately underneath it. This zone is therefore exposed to much less radiation. Consequently, a tower’s primary “radiation lobe” (main beam) falls around 50-300 meters ( 0.03 - 0.18 miles) from the base station mast at a 5-10° angle.

How far away are mobile towers safe?

The distance needed to reduce exposures down to the General Public Precautionary Level of 100 microwatts per meter squared (μW/m²) is often around a quarter of a mile (1320 feet or 400 meters) or more. Thus, If you find mobile towers located a minimum of 400 meters (0.24 miles) away, you are most likely safe.

Do mobile phones need a base station?

Mobile phones and other mobile devices require a network of base stations in order to function. The base station antennas transmit and receive RF (radio frequency) signals, or radio waves, to and from mobile phones near the base station. Without these radio waves, mobile communications would not be possible.

How much exposure can a radio base station have?

On the ground, in houses, and other places where people reside, the exposure levels from radio base stations are normally below 1 percent of the limits. Only in the close vicinity of the antennas can the exposure limits sometimes be exceeded.
