Site surveys provide picture of RF levels

RFI Global Services is able to check any site with fixed/mobile telephony, wireless or electromechanical equipment for unacceptable levels of radiation.

Legislation is rapidly being introduced to ensure that corporate and public service employers are not exposing personnel to any radio frequency or electrical radiation risks.

RFI Global Services (RFI), building on its excellent reputation in RF conformance testing, has expanded its radio frequency site survey services.

RFI has made a significant investment in the latest test instrumentation and highly-skilled engineers.

This new, state-of-the-art, fully portable equipment allows RFI engineers to respond quickly to provide rapid, specific assessments of the nature and levels of RF environments at any location worldwide.

RFI now has a complete portfolio of site survey services that are wide-ranging and designed to meet all survey requirements.

The core services cover three types of survey: the broadband site survey (27MHz to 60GHz frequency range), the cellular operator site survey (80MHz to 3GHz) and the standard site survey (30MHz to 3GHz).

Reports and frequency analysis can be tailored to customer requirements and testing typically takes less than half a day.

Extended lower and upper range surveys are also available for the standard site survey, taking less than a day.

RFI can now also design investigative surveys specifically for extraordinary locations.

These bespoke surveys are tailored to the client's exact requirements and can even include remote monitoring, giving a complete "picture" of RF levels over time.

This is especially useful in cases of intermittent or variable RF levels.

These vital investigative surveys identify any sources of radio interference or potential health hazards from radio frequency exposure.

RFI can thereby help employers to ensure they comply with the emerging legislative "duty of care" requirements, for example, the new EMF Directive, which becomes mandatory in April 2008.

Such investigative projects are wide-ranging.

RFI's survey work has included projects investigating interference from screens in a call centre, lift engineers working in the vicinity of rooftop basestations and power frequency investigations near substations, as well as surveys for numerous local authorities and network operators.
