What are the emission levels from a typical mobile phone base station?
The emission levels from a mobile phone base station depend on a number of factors, including the area the cell is designed to cover and the number of simultaneous calls it is designed to carry. Depending on the base station, power levels will normally be between two and 150 watts. Radiofrequency exposure levels from a typical Vodafone mobile base station at ground level are normally 0.1 to 1 per cent of the Australian Communications and Media Authority’s mandatory limits (i.e. the ARPANSA Standard).
