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) 5 and the National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement . <br /> (NCRP)6. 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 for uncontrolled areas as they <br /> pertain to the operating frequency bands of the personal wireless services facility industry. <br /> Table I: Maximum Permissible Exposures in Uncontrolled Areas <br /> For Emissions from 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 Street,Unit#11 <br /> Nashua NH 03063 <br /> Page-2- <br />
