4 FAQs about Communication distance requirements for various base stations

How high should a base station antenna be?

Per ITU-R P.1410 recommendations, base station antenna heights typically range between 15-60 meters. Urban deployments favor 25-35m, rural coverage requires 40-55m, while 5G mmWave systems operate efficiently at 15-25m. Critical factors include propagation models, terrain, and frequency bands.

How much exposure can a radio base station have?

On the ground, in houses, and other places where people reside, the exposure levels from radio base stations are normally below 1 percent of the limits. Only in the close vicinity of the antennas can the exposure limits sometimes be exceeded.

Why are base stations important in cellular communication?

Base stations are important in the cellular communication as it facilitate seamless communication between mobile devices and the network communication. The demand for efficient data transmission are increased as we are advancing towards new technologies such as 5G and other data intensive applications.

What is a signal transmission & reception base station?

Signal Transmission and Reception Base stations use antennas mounted on cell towers to send and receive radio signals to and from mobile devices within their coverage area. This communication enables users to make voice calls, send texts, and access data services, connecting them to the wider world.
