RF Exposure Guidelines
The following MPE (maximum permissible exposure) calculations have been
produced in accordance with the guidelines of EN 50383/EN 50385. These
calculations represent examples only and do not include every possible combination
of output power and antenna gain.
Occupational is defined as: “The occupationally exposed population consists of adults
who are generally exposed under known conditions and are trained to be aware of
potential risk and to take appropriate precautions”.
