The Commission adopted today the Implementing Regulation on small-area wireless access points, or small antennas, which are crucial for the timely deployment of 5G networks that are delivering
high-capacity and increased coverage as well as advanced connection speeds. Commissioner for the Internal Market, Thierry Breton, said: “5G wireless networks represent a pillar
of socio-economic development for Europe as they will enable new services in health and care, energy, transport, education and many other areas. Their importance is even more evident today
as they will play a key role in our recovery from the coronavirus crisis. Together with Member States, we must pave the way for the timely rollout of 5G, without restrictive administrative
barriers, which will in turn create significant demand from our industry and will amplify European innovations and competitiveness.” The “fifth generation” of telecommunication systems, or 5G,
are one of the most critical building blocks of our economy and society as they will help optimise manufacturing processes and will enable innovations in telemedicine, smart cities, and clean
energy management, among other advancements. As part of the
new EU telecom rules
that entered into force in December 2018 and following several
public consultations
that collected stakeholders’ and citizens’ feedback, the Regulation adopted today specifies the physical and technical characteristics of small cells for 5G networks. It
aims to help simplify and accelerate 5G network installations, which should be facilitated through a permit-exempt deployment regime, while ensuring that national authorities keep oversight. At the
same time small-area wireless access points should assure the protection of people’s health and safety, by adhering to strict EU exposure limits, which, for the general public, are 50 times lower
than what international scientific evidence would suggest as having any potential effect on health. Their visual and aesthetic impact must be minimal by either being invisible or mounted in a
non-obstructive way onto their supporting structure. More information about the Implementing Regulation is available here, and
