How Should Cell Phones Have Revolutionize The Wireless Telecommunications Industry?
INTRODUCTION
Cell phones have revolutionized the wireless telecommunications industry over the past decade. It has made telecommunication faster, convenient and more economical. The advancement in mobile phone technology with multi-functional features has attracted more cell phone users, both young and old, throughout the world. Gadgets like tablets, smartphones, etc. are multiplying at a rate five times faster than global human population.
The US Census Bureau puts the global human population between 7.19 and 7.22 billion. According to data from digital analysts in the GSMA Intelligence (Group Speciale Mobile Association), the number of active mobile devices has crossed 7.22 billion marks. At present, it is the fastest growing man-made phenomenon ever discovered. (The Times of India, Oct 10, 2014). This growing demand has given rise to the installation of more base stations to send and receive communication signals. These wireless telecommunication devices operate with the help of radio frequency (RF) fields just like TV, radio, radar, microwave oven, etc. Various scientific reports on the possible health hazards on the long term effects of radiofrequency radiation (RFR) emitted from the cell phone and base stations have caused significant media attention and public discussion in recent years.
