Mobile Technology Evolution: RF-EMF Exposure

Information on radiofrequency electromagnetic field exposure

Increased mobile connectivity is transforming society, enabling changes in the way we live and do business, through new applications relying on mobile networks. Mobile network technologies continue to evolve from 5G (the 5th generation of mobile technology) to 5G Standalone and 5G-Advanced; and the future 6G with its potential for enhanced computing, wireless positioning and sensing capabilities.

This report addresses questions about exposure to the radiofrequency (RF) electromagnetic fields (EMFs) used by mobile networks and connected devices. The first section deals with the mobile technology roadmap. This is followed by the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable devices. The final section looks at general questions about RF-EMF exposure.
