Vodafone UK sets up system to monitor mobile phone masts emissions

Seven local councils have teamed up with mobile operator Vodafone UK to address public worries about emissions from mobile phone masts with a scheme to provide 24-hour monitoring of radio frequency fields, reports DMeurope.

A central unit, named Cassiopea after its Italian origins, records emissions from masts and other sources throughout the day and night in selected areas near to Vodafone equipment then sends this data to the council's publicly accessible website. A graph will then show total emission levels set against the precautionary health guidelines.

This is part of Vodafone's wider strategy of addressing concerns and providing information about their operations in communities. "
