In a development that will be welcomed, an inter-ministerial panel has laid down norms on cell tower radiation.According to Trai, India has about 4 lakh mobile towers, and the tower industry is a huge consumer of energy,using up about 2.7-Crore units of electricity and over 200 Crore liters of diesel every day and the 3G /BWA rollout will require an additional one lakh towers to cater to a total of 100 Crore subscribers by 2014.
Typically, a mobile network consists of mobile switching centres, each of which is connected to base station controllers, which in turn are connected to database transceiver station installed on the top of towers to facilitate the sending of signals from the BTS to another.The radius of each BTS varies between 500 meters and 8 to 10 km.depending on subscriber usage,spectrum band and availability.
