Vodafone’s request for a power over 20 Watts rejected, similar procedure in via Arduino
THE SENTRY IN A MINUTE
IVREA. The electromagnetic waves would go to exceed the limit in the rooms on the seventh floor of a building in via Torino, settling there on the value of 6.8 volts per meter against the maximum allowed threshold of 6 / m provided for the places where people remain for at least 4 hours (as per Interministerial Decree 381 which entered into force on January 2, 1999). This was ascertained by Arpa Piemonte, finding itself in front of the practice with which Vodafone asked to upgrade the antenna for mobile telephony existing at 253 in via Torino to more than 20 Watts Third bridge). This upgrade was therefore not authorized. The certified notification of the start of activity has been suspended. Now, in all likelihood, Vodafone will make the necessary changes to return to the range, also because the difference is minimal. «We make a theoretical calculation considering the worst conditions in terms of emissions, that is, assuming that the plant works at its maximum – explain from Arpa -. Having said this, the impact on all buildings within a radius of 300 meters is estimated, assuming a priori the residential use of the attics that is not necessarily there in fact. In this case the limit of 6 v / m was exceeded in a seventh floor above ground. Hence the contrary opinion ». On the other hand, a second similar request is being investigated with which Vodafone always aims to bring the power of the antenna located at 109 in via Arduino, Castellazzo area beyond 20 Watts. Arpa is evaluating the impact in electromagnetic waves, considering that this is an area with a high population density, with shops and the hospital not far away. San Grato, it was said. This is the area of Ivrea where last December there were connection problems with Vodafone, which were then solved, and it is also this where Iliad has recently improved its coverage by placing a base radio station with three antennas over 20 W.
But how many antennas are there in Ivrea? The last census for mobile telephony dates back to 2017: Ivrea at the time had 29 base radio stations hosting a total of 44 systems for mobile telephony, and it was just the dawn of 4G. Today Ivrea has two 5G antennas in Tim’s hands in piazza San Francesco d’Assisi and via Piemonte, an experiment underway with Agid relating to the smart city model, and roofs and public spaces rented to operators for their plants in nine points of the cities for a total income of 171 thousand euros a year. –
