The OUTREACH initiative

Collaborate with academia by sharing data

to realistically model 5G and 6G exposure

Phase 2: finding partners in industry

MISSION

To perform highly realistic simulations of 5G electromagnetic exposure on humans, by convincing key industrial players to privately share proprietary data, ranging from smartphone CAD models to base station specifications.

This is done by

Taking data safety extremely seriously
Explaining 'the why’ with three solid arguments
Garnering support within academia (phase 1),
after which the question will be asked broadly to industry and governments (phase 2).

OUTdoor Realistic Exposure Assessment for next generation Cellular networks on Humans

Note: not a funded project, not a commercial endeavor, but simply an idea with an informational website

Data is funneled directly to results in publications.

Share proprietary data

For the sole purpose of research
Safeguarded under NDA
Taking safety incredibly seriously

WHY SUPPORT THE INITIATIVE

A Collaborative Approach to EMF Research

Learn why you should support the OUTREACH initiative

Because 61% of people are still concerned or unsure about 5G and health
Because real data is needed for realistic end-to-end simulations, a very important field in the EMF literature
Because academia still works with worst-case proxies and industry faces an increasingly sceptic public opinion

REQUIRED DATA

What we need from industry and governments

ANTENNA LOCATIONS

Having a high-coverage is crucial to convince the public 5G is safe in their neighborhood. We require the locations and configurations of base stations across the world.

TX ANTENNA PATTERNS

Researchers usually limit themselves to generic high-gain patterns. We need realistic patterns from commercial RAN hardware providers with details on powers, duty cycles and more.

RX ANTENNA
PATTERNS

Researchers don't have access to realistic smartphone models. The CAD file and full antenna patterns from the smartphone designers and antenna OEMs are invaluable to estimate the channel accurately.

DIGITAL TWINS OF THE WORLD

High frequencies means high resolution meshes. While some options are available, none tick all the boxes of high accuracy, semantically classified and high coverage.

Support from experts all over the world

The support among prominent experts in the field is large. Numerous experts voice their need for sharing data.

INDUSTRY COLLABORATION

Phase 2:
Our Partners

Here, you will find a list of partners that have at present decided to share their data under the OUTREACH initiative.

This list will fill up as phase 2 progresses, where key industrial players will be invited to join.
