The transformation of our cities into Smart Cities is accelerating, driven by technology and connectivity. We already measure air quality, noise levels, and traffic in real time, but what about the electromagnetic environment? The proliferation of wireless infrastructures and technologies (5G, WiFi, etc.), which are essential for our digital society, demands closer attention to the electromagnetic fields they generate. Just like with air quality, measuring electromagnetic fields (EMF) and performing RF monitoring is crucial for ensuring a safe and sustainable urban environment.
Monitoring EMF is a fundamental step for any advanced, connected city. Obtaining objective data on EMF exposure allows authorities, in addition to complying with international regulations, to proactively manage citizens’ exposure and address their concerns transparently. This ensures that technological advancements in Smart Cities don’t come at the expense of public safety.
At Wavecontrol, we are experts in advanced solutions for EMF measurement and monitoring. Our solutions transform passive monitoring into an active tools for understanding and assessing human exposure to electromagnetic fields. Specifically, our MonitEM-IoT solution uses compact, easy-to-install IoT/PoE sensors to continuously measure a city’s EMF exposure levels. These sensors also comply with international standards such as ITU-K.83 and ICNIRP 2020, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
