Hello and thank you for asking

For a XXXXXXX phone base station antenna mounted on a tower that is 5+ meters high (about 15 feet), there should be no areas that will come anywhere close to the RF radiation safety guidelines, so the concept of a "minimum safe distance" doesn't really apply to generally occupied areas.

Sorry i do not understand. Do you mean that if you rare 5m away from a base station then there is no risk?

Hi again

A distance of 1300 feet (400m) is of particular importance. This is because computer simulation and measurements used in one of the study indicated that the radiation at that distance or less (the “inner area”) is 100 times greater than emissions beyond that distance
