Mobile Phone Base Stations - Sitefinder |
A publicly accessible database of cellular base stations
The Government has asked the Radiocommunications Agency (RA) to develop and maintain a public database giving details on all operating cellular base stations and their emissions, in response to the recommendations of the Independent Expert Group on Mobile Phones report chaired by Professor Sir William Stewart.
The RA has been making steady progress in implementing this recommendation. It is developing an Internet based solution known as "Sitefinder". Sitefinder will employ a 'user-friendly' map-based facility indicating the location of cellular phone base stations. More information on a particular base station will be available by simply clicking on the position indicator for the base station in question.
It is hoped that Sitefinder will
be available later this summer.
