The recipient of this document shall respect the security status of the information. 1.0 Executive Summary This document serves as a guideline for the deployment and installation of Nortel Networks’ wireless base station equipment with respect to the control of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure. The objective is to provide guidance on where antennas can be deployed, how to calculate power densities and safe distances and how to protect users from excessive exposure to electromagnetic radiation. This guideline is in response to recent regulatory requirements originating in the US aimed at controlling human exposure to EMR. Safe distance formulae for base stations: Limits Application Uncontrolled r [ meters ] Controlled r [ meters ] Cellular r0. 300 ER P= r0. 135 ER P= PCS r0. 228 ER P= r= 0.102 ERP DCS r0. 228 ER P= r=0.102ERP LMDS r = 1 r = 0.4 P-to-P Microwave Radio r = 1 r = 0.4 Uncontrolled refers to situations where individuals are either unaware or not in control of their exposure to the electromagnetic fields in question. This typically pertains to the general public. Controlled refers to situations where individuals are both aware of and in control of their exposure to the electromagnetic fields in question. This typically pertains to trained staff that is in contact with these fields as a result of their employment and have authority to limit their exposure. Note: This document includes DCS in its examples. If the EU adopts ENV50166, or any other EMR standard, then that document will replace this as the guideline for DCS products. Until that happens, these limits can be used to ensure due diligence on Nortel Networks’ behalf.

FCC’s OET Bulletin #65 (versions in progress) addresses calculation and measurement procedures to determine compliance with the FCC limits which includes the 800 MHz cellular and 1.9 GHz PCS bands. The equipment and its associated deployment must comply with FCC Guidelines, ET Docket No. 93-62, Released August 1, 1996, (FCC 96-326). This standard is largely based on the limits and test methods outlined in IEEE C95.1-1982, NCRP Report No. 86 and C95.3-1982 respectively. The applicable portions of both are summarized in this document to assist in the antenna site planning to ensure compliance. The exposure limits are currently in effect. The requirement for installers to evaluate the exposure at an installation takes effect on Sept. 1/97. The exposure limits should apply now to all known sites since existing facilities are not exempt or grand fathered from the new rules. The FCC has determined that certain sites will require “Environmental Evaluations” in order to show compliance to the standards. Adhering to these guidelines can ensure compliance to the standard, and therefore can be the basis for the Environmental Evaluation. Please note that some installations do not require such routine evaluation: exceptions are noted further in this document. Adherence to these guidelines is recommended to promote safety. An installation of equipment that is identified as exempt may require an Environmental Evaluation if the combined energy of other Radio Systems at the site and the new installation could reasonably exceed the safety limits. Environmental Evaluations are kept on hand, as opposed to file with the FCC, unless requested by the FCC for substantiation. Where Nortel Networks is responsible for installing or engineering base stations, the person in charge should be aware of and have access to documentation for making an Environmental Evaluation. Also, Nortel Networks will need to maintain documentation for assurances to the FCC that Environmental Evaluations have been conducted for each radio station that uses our Experimental Radio License, or S…
