Abstract :
In this study, the impact of Wi-Fi access points is investigated in terms of electromagnetic field exposure evaluations. Installations, typically present in common living contexts, have been analyzed by means of both wideband and narrow-band measurements and simulation-prediction tools. The obtained results show that exposure due to these systems is compliant with the limits provided by regulation.
