Descripción del proyecto
El despliegue de la 5G y las futuras redes inalámbricas
La quinta generación (5G) de tecnología móvil (5G NR FR1 y 5G NR FR2) mejorará y ampliará significativamente las aplicaciones inalámbricas. Aunque existen ciertas similitudes con las generaciones de red anteriores, también hay numerosas diferencias que generan abundantes brechas del conocimiento. El proyecto SEAWave, financiado con fondos europeos, abordará tales brechas mediante la cuantificación de las diferencias en los patrones de exposición entre la 2G–4G y la 5G para la población general, incluida la infantil, y creará herramientas para una valoración fiable de la exposición de, entre otros, estaciones base. El proyecto también obtendrá importantes datos científicos nuevos para valorar el riesgo sanitario generado por la exposición a la nueva banda FR2, especialmente en relación con la posible (co)carcinogénesis de la exposición dérmica y otros efectos peligrosos, y generará conocimientos para una comunicación eficaz de los riesgos sanitarios.
Objetivo
The pervasiveness and social-economic dependence on wireless technology has steadily increased over the last three decades. Currently, the 5th generation (5G) New Radio (NR) cellular system is being deployed to unlock the potential of new applications that require the connection of many more devices (Internet of Things), higher data rates and low latency (autonomous driving, 'Factory of the Future'). 5G operates in two frequency bands, 5G NR FR1 and 5G NR FR2. Many exposure parameters of 5G are similar to those of 2G-4G. However, there are also many differences that lead to major knowledge gaps, all of which will be addressed by the SEAWave project. SEAWave will (i) quantify the differences in exposure patterns between 2G-4G and 5G for the entire population including children; (ii) provide new tools and instruments for reliable exposure evaluation of base stations, local networks in factories, and end-user devices; (iii) provide the means to minimise exposure; (iv) generate important new scientific data for assessing the health risk from exposure to the new frequency bands (FR2), especially with regard to the potential (co-)carcinogenicity of skin exposure and other hazardous effects; and (v) provide knowledge for effective health risk communication and dissemination to various stakeholders. To achieve these ambitious objectives, the interdisciplinary consortium consists of highly experienced partners with leading expertise in the field who ideally complement each other to achieve maximum impact. European citizens, workers, national public health authorities, European Commission services, regulators, and standardisation bodies will all benefit from the SEAWave results as they will support science-based decisions and policies for the safe deployment and use of 5G and future wireless networks. Project SEAWave is part of the European cluster on EMFs and health.
