In recent years, public concern about the possible health implications of mobile phone masts—and, indeed, handsets—has been increasing.
The technical constraints of cellular radio networks—the need to have a line of sight between handsets and base stations, for example—means that providing the necessary infrastructure represents a considerable challenge.
A designated supplier for a second contract for the provision of the radio handsets, fixed mobiles, ambulance control room equipment and integration will be announced very soon after.
The same number of officers will be able to spend significantly more time on operational duties because they will have direct access to data and information through their radio handsets.
There is a great deal of research into the use of handsets, but there is a clear need to look at health risks from mobile phone base stations.
Late in the century, wireless handsets brought a revival of local battery power.
Text-enabled fixed-line handsets are required to receive messages in text format.
Random handsets can be used with random transceivers, but some mismatches may result in unusable functions.
