The government has relaxed EMF rules for 5G network, increasing the power density requirement for a 5G base tower station to 5 watts per square metre from 1 watt.

This change will allow telecom operators to cover more areas with fewer base stations, reducing costs and their carbon footprint

This essentially means the signals can travel a longer distance. The revised rules are still more stringent than global guidelines, officials said

The International Commission for Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) that provides advice and guidance on the health and environmental effects of EMF recommends 10 watts per square metre.

Local telcos have been seeking rules in line with the ICNIRP guidelines, citing studies that show no adverse health effect from wireless technologies.
