| Título | Mitigation techniques to limit human exposure to EMFs in the vicinity of radiocommunication stations |
| Resumo | Recommendation ITU-T K.70 defines techniques which may be used by telecommunication operators to evaluate the cumulative (total) exposure ratio in the vicinity of transmitting antennas and to identify the main source of radiation. It offers guidance on mitigation methods which allow reduction of radiation level in order to comply with exposure limits. It also provides guidance on procedures necessary in the environment (on site) in which, in most cases, there is a simultaneous exposure to multiple frequencies from many different sources. Radiating sources may belong to many operators and may represent different radiocommunication services (e.g., cellular systems, trunking systems, broadcasting, radio relays, wireless access, etc.). Appendix I includes an electronic attachment with distinct 32-bit and 64-bit versions of the EMF estimator software. As Microsoft Access 32-bit and 64-bit versions cannot be served by the same software package, two versions of this software are proposed. Furthermore, two separate install procedures are required in order to run this software depending on the Microsoft Access version installed on the user PC. |

| Título | The impact of RF-EMF exposure limits stricter than the ICNIRP or IEEE guidelines on 4G and 5G mobile network deployment |
| Resumo | Radio frequency electromagnetic field (RF-EMF) exposure limits have become a critical concern for further deployment of wireless networks, especially in countries, regions and even specific cities where RF-EMF limits are significantly stricter than the International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) or Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) guidelines. This problem currently affects several countries, such as China, India, Poland, Russia, Italy and Switzerland, regions of Belgium or cities such as Paris. Supplement 14 to the ITU-T K-series of Recommendations provides an overview of some of the challenges faced by countries, regions and cities that are about to deploy 4G or 5G infrastructures. It provides information on a simulation carried out in Poland of the impact of RF‑EMF limits as an example of a wider phenomenon, applicable to several other countries that have set limits stricter than those contained in the ICNIRP or IEEE guidelines. The results of the simulation indicate that, where RF-EMF limits are stricter than ICNIRP or IEEE guidelines, the network capacity buildout (both 4G and 5G) might be severely constrained and prevent growing data traffic demand and the launching of new services on existing mobile networks being addressed. |

| Título | 5G technology and human exposure to radiofrequency electromagnetic fields |
| Resumo | The deployment of fifth generation (5G) will see the evolution and expansion of existing fourth generation (4G) networks and the introduction of new radio access networks in millimetre wavebands. As a result of the use of much higher frequency ranges, the number of base stations will substantially increase. These networks will include a range of installations including smaller cell deployments and advanced antenna technologies. Massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antennas will allow the use of very narrow beams that will follow the user with an impact on the surrounding exposure level different from that of current systems. The number of wireless devices will dramatically increase. New technology allows for the use of more efficient systems that require lower communication signal levels. Supplement 9 to ITU-T K-series Recommendations contains an analysis of the impact of the implementation of 5G mobile systems with respect to the exposure level of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) around radiocommunication infrastructure. |
