A study held by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection shows that the impact of the BOS TETRA radio with regards to the head and body temperature is in line with the regulations

BDBOS today announced the study held by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection about the impact of the BOS digital TETRA radio on the human body.  The Recent studies and measurements show that the statutory limits are complied with. This is particularly true for the use of handheld radios (HRT) in vehicles. 

The study, related to the TETRA standard, held by the Federal Office for Radiation Protection, demonstrates that the statutory limits are respected at all realistic uses of the BOS digital radio. 

The so-called SAR study examined the extent to which the BOS digital radio temperature increases in the body and in the head region occur in the use of walkie-talkies. The study considered different realistic uses. This included the use of hand-held radio equipment in vehicles.

During the measurements, scenarios of police practice were highlighted. Simultaneously several different mobile devices (GSM, HRT, MRI) in very close proximity within vehicles or rooms and be worn without the external antenna or to the person where used.

As a result, the investigation of the BOS digital radio Baden-Württemberg project group, showed that the measurement results are well below the applicable limits.
