Welcome to Oxford

Monitoring radiation from mobile phone masts

We have undertaken a joint project with Vodafone whereby radiation from an existing mast in the Blackbird Leys area of the city will be monitored. The monitoring system is linked by GSM technology to a central server and ultimately to this web page, where results of the monitoring can be viewed.

The monitoring specifications are:

  • continuous monitoring 24 hours a day
  • monitoring across the frequency range 500KHz to 3GHz
  • permanent recording of average values over 6 minute periods
  • despatch of data in encrypted form
  • archive of files without the possibility of tampering with the Management Centre's original archived format
  • data available on the internet site

Results from the mobile phone mast monitoring are available below:

monitoring results - 20 Mar to 26 Mar 2006
monitoring results - 13 Mar to 19 Mar 2006
monitoring results - 6 Mar to 12 Mar 2006
monitoring results - February 2006
