[Asia Economy Reporter Han Jinju] The time required for electromagnetic wave measurement, which is essential before the launch of 5G smartphones, will be reduced.
On the 13th, the National Radio Research Agency under the Ministry of Science and ICT announced that the time required for the mandatory 'electromagnetic wave measurement' for launching 5G mobile phones will be shortened to the LTE level.
Before a mobile phone is released, it must undergo testing to ensure that the electromagnetic wave exposure complies with human protection standards. Unlike LTE, 5G uses multiple antennas and several beams, which results in longer measurement times for certification tests.
Accordingly, the National Radio Research Agency has established measurement guidelines that simplify the process by identifying and measuring only the conditions where electromagnetic waves are at their maximum, thereby protecting human health and streamlining measurements. It is expected that the launch of new 5G mobile phones operating at 28GHz and 3.5GHz will be accelerated.
When applying the improved measurement guidelines, the measurement time for 28GHz 5G mobile phones will be reduced to about 40 days, similar to LTE. The electromagnetic wave measurement time for 3.5GHz 5G mobile phones, which had its measurement procedure simplified last March, will be further shortened from two weeks to one week.

The National Radio Research Agency stated, "By establishing these measurement guidelines, the public will be able to get the latest 5G mobile phone products faster, and the 28GHz 5G mobile phones scheduled for release in the second half of this year are expected to be commercialized without any issues. We will continue to make efforts to protect public health from electromagnetic wave exposure while improving and simplifying measurement procedures."
