As with a shared site, adding an additional 3G antenna will increase emissions slightly. But the resultant levels are still expected to be a fraction of the Australian Communications and Media Authority limits. The cell size for the 3G antenna is generally smaller and the cell size “shrinks” when in high use. Only very low levels of power are required to operate a 3G antenna.
