How strong is the signal strength from a mobile antenna on a mast or building?
The effect from an outdoor mobile antenna is 10 to 15 Watts, sometimes considerably lower. You will have to be closer than approximately 3 meters (directly in front of the antenna, and at the same height) to achieve a signal output to match the level of the limit values of the WHO and the Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority. To provide mobile coverage in scarcely populated areas, Telenor sometimes uses a low-effect transmitter or an amplifier. Both these devices have a maximum transmitting effect of approximately 1 Watt. This permits the antennas to be installed in areas that have a shorter distance to domestic buildings and other constructions without increasing the strength of the radio signals more than in other areas. Such solutions contribute to the widespread and extensive mobile coverage that Telenor is known for, and also reduce the signal strength from both mobile antennas and mobile phones used in the area.
