Description:BACKGROUND
Field of Invention
[001] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to a system for detecting electromagnetic radiation and particularly to a system for detecting electromagnetic radiation in public spaces.
Description of Related Art
[002] In today’s telecommunications landscape, the industry is rapidly adopting cutting-edge wireless technologies to cater to a global user base. Telecom companies are erecting a substantial number of radiation towers to support applications ranging from television broadcasting to mobile communication systems. This proliferation of radiation towers has led to an increasing exposure of individuals to electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Assessing radiation power levels in specific geographic areas is imperative for public safety. Despite the existence of regulatory frameworks governing radiation power, a real-time monitoring and alerting system for public safety remains conspicuously absent. Thus, there is a pressing need for a vigilant guardian of public safety to mitigate radiation exposure risks.
[003] There is thus a need for an improved and advanced system for detecting electromagnetic radiation in public spaces that can administer the aforementioned limitations in a more efficient manner.
