Can waves emitted by the mobile telephony network affect the functioning of a pacemaker?
There is no interference from the base stations if the minimum distance is kept. Since the location of aerials is hardly accessible to the general public, it’s very unlikely that the minimum distance should be infringed upon. In the case of mobile phones, following the research carried out, it has been established that the interference is zero down to a distance of 10 cm between the phone and the pacemaker. For additional safety, a distance of 15-20 cm is recommended.
