Radiation Safety
Introduction
Any radio equipment is emitting Radio Frequency (RF) radiation through its
antenna.
In the StreetNode
ΤΜ
6250 PTP radio, the antenna is integrated and located
inside the unit’s enclosure.
It is important to follow any local, national or international regulation during
installation and operation of the radio equipment to minimize radiation
hazards.
Regulations
Many countries have issued and follow their own RF safety regulations,
while many others have adopted international regulations, standards or
guidelines.
In Europe, some countries follow the recommendations included in the
1999/519/EC directive, which is based on the guidelines document published
by the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP).
The above mentioned European directive provides the reference levels
(limits) for assessment of the human exposure to electromagnetic fields
based on health effects. Other regulators may define different reference
levels.
The European Union and U.S. regulator (FCC) Reference Levels for the
microwave frequencies are given below:
