Imagine 5G as a new kind of invisible light that doesn't go deep into the body but mostly hits the skin. Since this technology is new, we don't fully know how it affects people of different ages, from kids to seniors. This work creates a 'safety ruler' to measure these waves and ensures the tech doesn't cause skin issues.
5G millimetre waves (FR2) have shallow skin penetration, but there is a lack of data on health risks and reliable tools to measure exposure in complex environments like factories.
The DEVIN device, including its functional report, performance data, and a user manual for measuring UL transmitted power.
If you are a network provider dealing with public health concerns over 5G deployment — this project developed new tools and instruments for reliable exposure evaluation of base stations that provide science-based safety data.
If you are an integrator dealing with worker safety in high-density wireless environments — this project developed measurement tools for local networks in factories to minimize exposure and ensure regulatory compliance.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with the design of 5G NR FR2 devices — this project developed a way to quantify exposure patterns for end-user devices to help create safer hardware for children and the elderly.
Based on available project data, no specific pricing or commercial cost for the tools is mentioned.
Yes, the project specifically targets the evaluation of base stations and local networks in factories, suggesting industrial applicability.
Based on available project data, the DEVIN devices are made available for use by project partners, but external licensing terms are not specified.
Yes, the results are designed to support science-based decisions and policies for regulators and standardisation bodies.
The project period runs until 2025-11-30, which is when the final results are expected.
The consortium is heavily weighted toward research and academia, with 5 universities and 9 research organizations. With only 1 industry partner and 1 SME (a 6% industry ratio), the project is primarily driven by scientific validation rather than immediate commercial productization, though it spans 9 countries to ensure broad regulatory relevance.
