Technical FAQs 4

Do mobile phones need a base station?

Mobile phones and other mobile devices require a network of base stations in order to function. The base station antennas transmit and receive RF (radio frequency) signals, or radio waves, to and from mobile phones near the base station. Without these radio waves, mobile communications would not be possible.

Can a radio base station be installed within a building?

The proposed radio base station installation within building is certified to constitute material change in use which necessitates submission of notification to the Building Authority under BO s25.

Why do mobile operators need a radio base station?

All mobile operators ensure that their radio base stations, and masts are designed and built so that the public are not exposed to radio frequency fields above the strict safety guidelines which govern and limit public exposure to electromagnetic fields.

Does a radio base station need planning permission?

A radio base station not meeting the definition of “Telecommunications Radio Base Station” is considered as a type of “Public Utility Installation”. Whether it will require planning permission from the TPB will depend on the provisions of the concerned statutory plan.
