Following proposed modifications to its radio frequency (RF) exposure rules originally released in 2013, and to allay concerns about 5G transmitters and devices, the FCC has released a decision maintaining existing allowable RF exposure limits while simplifying the process for determining whether devices are exempt from RF exposure testing.
The agency voted unanimously last week to keep in place RF exposure standards for cell phones, and antennas on towers and rooftops.
The FCC’s order sets out three categories of devices that are exempt from testing based on formulas that consider the device’s power level and its separation distance from humans.
