| Summary: | While the spectrum growth is expected to increase
exponentially in the future years to come, the imminent query
would be as whether the current spectrum management process
is capable of fulfilling all future requirements. Public interest in
the potential health issues relating to cellular or mobile
communication base station (BS) and other radio
communication facilities emphasize the importance of having
an accessible and easy to understand information on
electromagnetic (EM) and radio frequency radiation (RFR)
levels in the surrounding environment. The information is
considered critical in order to assess the potential radiation
level prior and during the roll-out of planned or future services
such as the 4G, Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA),
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax),
Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS) and others. The
paper outlines the attempts of developing a specialized software
tool that can gauge the RFR concentration within a particular
area. The tool encompasses; among many, the capability of
facilitating as well as ensuring that the RFR monitoring
activities and planning can be carried out efficiently and
effectively. |
