Country Case Study - Hungary
Electromagnetic Field Level and 5G Roll-
Out Expert Meeting
technological engineerMr József Krausz

• Background
• EMF Regulation• Licensing construction and radio license
• Stakeholders • Information activities
• Prepare for 5G
Table of contents
3
• All of the 3 operators has more than 95 % population coverage
• 2 operators network sharing: divide the country into 2 parts
• New competitor: 4th mobile operator (starts in 2018)
Digital Dividend 800 MHz: Tender for new mobile frequency band (2014)
Background – Beyond 4G
4
Background - Indoor RF exposure assessment (2015)
Reference: Department of Non-Ionizing Radiation, National Public Helath Institute www.osski.hu
In urban area the exposure coming from base stations
was higher (0.25 V/m average) than the RF exposure emitted
by indoor sources.
The GSM 900 was the highest, probably due to the new LTE
technology which works also in the 900 MHz frequency band.
5
Measurement mandatory made by an accredited lab in 30 days
EIRP > 1kW (5kW ERP before 2017 ) in residential area
New base stations installation administration costs higher -> operators resist
Health Reference Level: ICNIRP, accepted EU recommendation
Since Hungary joined the EU 2004
Earlier: frequency independent constant value (higher at certain frequencies)
EMF regulations
6
Local municipality can apply additional
requirements (eg. due to cityscape)
Necessary if: height of supporting structure > 6m; or antenna size > 4m
So neighbours aren’t often informed about the construction
Antenna construction licenses
NMIAH issues construction licenses based on other government authorities permission(eg. environmental and heritage protections
7
• Mobile base stations
• Operators obtain a special „frame permission” for each frequency
block instead of individual radio license for each station
• Low power transmitters
• Planner declares compliance with health reference level
• NMIAH checks compliance with calculations
• High power transmitters
• EIRP ≥ 1 kW (before 2017 ERP ≥ 5kW) - without taking into
consideration the sites in use and EMF generated by competitors in
the neighborhood
• Expert report from an accredited lab is required (justified by
measurements)
Radiolicense
8
Wide range of stakeholders of wireless services
9
• Increasing interest and concern about the topic
• People should be properly informed
Public concern
„This high fieldstrength coming from mobile base station
can be used for rosting oxens”
„People in fear – hundreds are going to sue the mobile giant”
10
Court issues and Mobile service providers
Court issues – compensations due to mobile base stations
Constitutional Court (2015):
Despite compliance with ICNIRP level and other regulations,
more factor can cause depreciation of a real estate near a mobile
base station and neighbours may obtain compensation
More suits against mobile operators
Mobile service providers
• Common EMF portal (not updated for years) www.emf-portal.hu
• Hidden EMF information on their own websites (if exists)
• Required efficient governmental communication
due to lawsuits initialized by inhabitants
11
Local offices of the central government
• Collect EMF test reports
• Control measurement in cooperation with NMIAH (Officially handle
request coming from inhabitants)
NMIAH
• Issues radio licenses and construction permits (infrastructure
database)
• Carries out informative EMF measurements (along programs, and
individual requests)
• Other wireless measurements (e.g. coverage, mobile internet speed)
Authorities
Accredited labs and radiobiology research institute
• Tests of all the new/modified station above 1kW (earlier 5kW) EIRP
12
• Continuous programs in public places (educational institutes, block of flats)
• Testing exposition effect of new technologies: DVB-T, 4G, …
• Along the route measurements
From 2017: Application form for programs
Further aims:
• Statistics based on individual measurements
• Top10 results (based on field strength)
Aims and role of NMIAH in relation to EMF (RF) measurement

near city center)
Aim: to be informed wider
by maps to overview
histogram
Publication on website – „heatmaps”
15
National 5G coalition (46 participants):
Planned to be among the first country
in the world to introduce 5G after 2020.
2019-:
Tender for 5G mobile frequency bands
(eg. Digital Dividend 2.: 700 MHz,
1.5GHz, 2.1GHz, 2.6GHz, 3.5GHz, 26GHz)
Prepare to 5G
16
• New perspectives, roles, functions (M2M, IoT, smart eqipment, etc.)
• More technology -> Ultra Dense Network -> small cells (micro, pico, femto) results more antennas, sensors even closer to humans -> increasing radiation level
• 5G -> paradigm shift: new approach in regulations
Expectations
17
Changing the attitude of people?Communication strategy?
Questions?!
Distributed sensor network for measurements?
EMF informative applications mobile phone?
Thank you for your attention.
