## Related records

- [Macro cell tower (LTE / 5G sector antenna)](https://emfbase.com/emitters/cell-tower): Sector antennas radiate on the order of 1000 W EIRP per sector on the main beam, which is aimed above and away from the tower base — ground-level exposure directly beneath a tower is usually lower than at a few hundred metres away.
- [Wi-Fi router (2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz)](https://emfbase.com/emitters/wifi-router): A consumer access point radiating roughly 100 mW EIRP per band, giving about 8,000 µW/m² at 1 m and 80 µW/m² at 10 m in free space.
