Connecting to an in-train small cell reduced brain exposure by a factor of 35 and whole-body exposure by a factor of 11 for GSM at 1800 MHz.

Plain English Summary

Summary written for general audiences

Researchers assessed RF-EMF exposure of a mobile-phone user connected to either an outdoor macrocell or an in-train small cell while traveling on a train. The study used the absorbed-dose concept combining base station downlink exposure with mobile-phone uplink exposure. For GSM at 1800 MHz, connecting to a small cell reduced brain exposure by a factor of 35 and whole-body exposure by a factor of 11.

Quick Questions About This Study

The study aimed to observe the impact of a small cell on RF-EMF exposure in a train.
For GSM at 1800 MHz, connecting to a small cell reduced brain exposure by a factor of 35 and whole-body exposure by a factor of 11.
Researchers assessed exposure experimentally using the absorbed-dose concept, which combines base station downlink exposure with mobile-phone uplink exposure, for a user connected to either an outdoor macrocell or an in-train small cell while traveling on a train.
The study examined Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) technology at 1800 MHz.
