RF EXPOSURE LIMITS AND GUIDELINES <br /> Currently there are many RF exposure guidelines,throughout the world. The RF exposure <br /> limits adopted by the FCC are a combination of the standards published by the American National <br /> Standards Institute (ANSI) 'and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement <br /> (NCRP) '. Also applicable are those published by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health <br /> [MDPH]. <br /> At frequencies licensed to personal wireless services providers by the FCC,the values of the <br /> aforementioned standards are analogous. The RF exposure limits are divided into two categories: <br /> "Controlled areas" (those areas restricted to access by RF workers only) and "Uncontrolled Areas" <br /> (those areas unrestricted for public access). <br /> Listed in Table I below are the applicable RF exposure limits as they pertain to the operating <br /> frequency bands of the personal wireless services facility industry (the specific frequency bands <br /> assigned by the FCC are included in the theoretical RF field calculation table). <br /> Table I: Maximum Permissible Exposures for Personal Wireless Services Facilities <br /> Frequency Bands Maximum Permissible Exposures ' <br /> 300 - 1500 MHz f/1.5 in µW/cm2 <br /> 1500 - 100,000 MHz 1000 µW/cm2 <br /> Note: 1 mW= 1000 µW = 0.001 W <br /> For equivalent plane-wave power density, where f is the frequency in MHz. <br /> 427 Amherst Sheat,Unit#11 <br /> Nashua,NH 03063 <br /> Page-2- <br />
