During a control of electromagnetic waves carried out by the company Exem.

  • 5G relay antennas are being deployed on French territory while the debate on the electromagnetic waves they emit continues to be debated.

  • The commune of L'Union, to the north-east of Toulouse, has decided to set up a system for measuring these electromagnetic waves continuously and in real time.

  • This system, developed by the Toulouse-based company Exem, allows citizens to have access to these measures and to monitor the exceeding of the thresholds.

As operators deploy their 5G antennas all over the place, the debate continues to rage on the impact of this new technology.

Failing to obtain a moratorium on the issue, the mayor of L'Union, a town in the Toulouse metropolitan area, has decided to set up a device for monitoring electromagnetic waves continuously and in real time on a dedicated site.

And whose measurements will be accessible to all residents.

“I am not against 5G, but I was to wait for the result of the moratorium.

As the antennas are still deployed on L'Union on private land, we have decided to provide a citizen response.

Sensors will be installed on the street lights and citizens will be able to control electromagnetic pollution, ”explains Marc Péré (various left), who will submit this project to his municipal council next April.

By next summer, four measuring devices should thus emerge in public spaces, followed by four others close to schools in a second step.

A “wave observatory” developed by the Toulouse-based company Exem and already tested by the National Frequency Agency in several French cities.

💡🎚️🖥️Here is how a new sensor technology designed by the Exem design office allows local authorities to have a new service for monitoring the evolution of electromagnetic exposure, particularly in the context of deployment of # 5G https://t.co/ZfCGwmeC5W

This laboratory is specialized in the control of electromagnetic exposure, in particular of the general public.

In each of the cities where it has deployed its pilot system, three sensors have been installed to verify that emissions complied with regulatory thresholds.

“With our wideband sensors, we see when an antenna turns on and whether the levels are moving or rising.

We are bringing a brick of transparency to the airwaves debate ”, argues its president, Guilhem Astre.

An objective response to fantasies

Soon, L'Union will therefore be the first French city to have such an observatory through the subscription of a year-round subscription to the data recorded by the sensors for an amount of 10,000 euros.

“We were scalded by Linky counters.

For us, it is important to have a dialogue and to explain to citizens, this device makes it possible to have validated measures, an objective basis.

When we have no data, we can say anything, there is an answer to all fantasies ”, continues Marc Péré.

And if ever the citizens were to notice that the regulatory thresholds were exceeded, the operators would be immediately notified by the services of the town hall.

History that these measures are not only used to observe but also to interfere if necessary.
