Owners resist the construction of base stations, operators jointly "cut off the network", it is difficult to distinguish who is right and who is wrong.

Recently, China Mobile, China Unicom, China Telecom and the Iron Tower Company issued a notice on shutting down the communication facilities near Yihai Garden in Heze, Shandong Province, temporarily abandoning their efforts to provide network coverage to the residential area. the three telecom operators and iron tower companies no longer list investment plans for the construction of communication facilities in the district. What on earth is this for?

Joint network outages often occur.

"announcement" pointed out that for a long time, some owners of the community obstructed the construction of normal mobile communication infrastructure, and explained to the obstructing owners patiently and through multi-party coordination that it was still invalid. Some owners spread rumors to other owners who do not know the truth and bewitched the masses to make trouble. Although the state has issued a large number of policies to promote the construction of 'Broadband China' and 'Internet +' and scientifically clarified electromagnetic radiation, there are still people who do not know the truth insisting on obstructing the construction of normal base stations on the grounds that their health is endangered. In 2013, the landscape tower built on the eastern side of the community was deliberately damaged by nearby owners for many times and has so far been unable to use it normally; the plan to build a new landscape tower in the north of the residential property building in 2019 has been strongly opposed and blocked by nearby owners. After many times of on-site communication and explanation among tower companies, operators, industry committees and owners' representatives, it is still unable to get the understanding and support of this part of the owners.

Three operators and tower companies issued a notice on shutting down communication facilities near Yihai Garden in Heze, Shandong Province, temporarily abandoning efforts to cover the community.

Therefore, the iron tower company and the communication operator decided to give up their efforts to cover the community temporarily. The only base station on the west side of the district will be demolished in July 2019 due to the renovation of the levee. At that time, mobile phone communication services near the district may be seriously affected, including inability to answer or make calls, wireless Internet access, short messages, etc., as well as emergency calls such as 110, 120, 119 and so on. Respectfully ask the majority of mobile phone users to know and understand.

At the same time, during this period, the three telecom operators and tower companies will no longer list investment plans for the construction of communication facilities in your district (including the provision of 5G signals), and the three operators will no longer accept any complaints from the district.

It is not the first time for operators to cut off the network of the community. On October 9, 2018, a similar situation occurred in Huayi Yangguangli District, Pidu District, Chengdu. Since the Huayi District moved in in 2015, the mobile phone signal has been very poor. For this reason, during the National Day, the engineers of the mobile company entered the district and added signal enhancement equipment on the roof of the building, but they encountered opposition from the owners and asked to be dismantled on the grounds that the new equipment was radioactive. It will bring harm to the human body, and the equipment has been artificially damaged. To this end, the three major operators collectively issued a notice to stop the operation of all mobile phone signal equipment in the community.

The engineers of the mobile company added signal enhancement equipment on the roof, but the equipment was artificially damaged due to the opposition of the owners.

The public notice said, "due to the notice of the property, some residents in the district complained that the mobile phone signal equipment in the district interfered with the normal life of some owners. After communication, it was explained to no avail. The three major operators will interrupt and stop the operation of all mobile phone signal equipment in the district."

At a press conference on the development of the industrial communications industry in the first three quarters of 2018, Wen Ku, director of the Department of Information and Communication Development of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and spokesman Wen Ku, responded to the outage of operators. Wen Ku pointed out that attention to the issue of radiation has been discussed for a long time since the emergence of mobile communications. In this regard, the state has also done a lot of popular science publicity, the communication equipment used in the network are in strict compliance with the national environmental protection standards, operators in the construction of the base station, will also carry out environmental assessment of the radiation around the base station. Therefore, when using normal communication services, you do not have to worry about the health effects of radiation.

Wen Ku also calls on the majority of users to look at the construction of base stations scientifically, to understand and support the development of communications, and hope that this kind of thing will happen as little or no as possible in the future.

Is the signal equipment harmful to the human body?

"the base station has radiation, and the radiation is harmful." some residents "talk about radiation discoloration". Is the radiation of wireless communication base stations really that terrible?

Communication base station is a necessary condition to ensure user communication, which can provide low-power wireless signal for user mobile phone. According to its user density and geographical environment and planning and construction, in general, the communication base station antenna is roughly divided into ground tower and building sky, as well as indoor distribution. Iron tower is only used to support the basic facilities for transmitting signals, and it does not have any transmission effect.

The communication base station is a weak power facility, which is basically the same as the radiation frequency of the TV. The working voltage of the communication base station equipment is only about 48 volts, while the working voltage of the antenna is even smaller. The claim that there is serious harm to human health is sensational and has no scientific basis.

The national qualification testing department has repeatedly tested the radiation of the communication base station at 200 meters, 100 meters and one wall, and the test results are 0.38 microwatts per square centimeter, 0.41 microwatts and 0.31 microwatts respectively.

According to experts, the current electromagnetic radiation protection standard in China is less than 40 microwatts per square centimeter, and the radiation test results of communication base stations in residential areas are in line with the national standards, which are far lower than the safety limit, while Chinese standards are 15 times stricter than the existing American standard of less than 600 microwatts per square centimeter.

So the less the number of communication base stations, the less radiation?

Setting the number of communication base stations reasonably according to the population density can meet the signal coverage needs of the vast number of customers in the region. In the areas with high population density, the more communication base stations, the better the effect of mobile phone calls. At this time, the less electromagnetic radiation generated by mobile phones and communication base stations. On the contrary, the farther away from the communication base station, the weaker the signal strength, the stronger the emission peak power of the corresponding channel and the mobile phone itself, and the maximum radiation value. Therefore, a reasonable communication base station density will not only cause no harm to the person, but also reduce the radiation intensity of the mobile phone.

Can the network be cut off collectively when the equipment is damaged?

Although this incident stems from the owners' lack of understanding and deliberate sabotage of the base station construction, should the operators directly adopt the rough disconnection method?

Operators are service providers that provide communications and do not need to create antagonistic relationships with owners. The collective outage of operators not only protested against the destruction of equipment, but also dealt a great blow to the enthusiasm of owners who supported the new base stations. According to the provisions of paragraph 3 of Article 40 of the Telecommunications regulations, telecommunications business operators shall not do the following in telecommunications services: refuse, delay or suspend telecommunications services to telecommunications users without justifiable reasons.

Therefore, the disconnection of operators not only has no legal basis for behavior, but also is not conducive to the solution of the problem. Originally, the public has all kinds of misunderstandings about the operators, but the disconnection behavior will intensify the social contradictions and deepen the misunderstandings.

According to the latest report of the incident, at present, the Heze West City office and community have communicated with the China Iron Tower Heze Branch, and the iron tower company said that if the owners of the district no longer object and obstruct the construction, they can continue to carry out the base station construction.

In this regard, the relevant person in charge of China Iron Tower Heze Branch responded that because of the construction of the base station in the district, there were no less than 10 consultations with the owners' committee of the district, which were not resolved, and it was helpless to issue an announcement. due to the renovation of Huandi Park, the old base station has been demolished, there is no base station available nearby, the majority of users have no signal protection, resulting in a large number of owners to complain about the signal difference. The announcement is also to arouse the attention and support of the majority of owners and solve the problem of base station construction as soon as possible.

According to the lawyer's analysis, operators have the right to carry out base station construction and have the obligation to provide telecommunications services to community owners, and operators should not dismantle base stations unless agreed by the industry committee or other organizations that can represent the wishes of all community owners. At the same time, based on the needs of social and public interests, community owners have a legal obligation to tolerate the behavior of public telecommunications facilities such as mobile communication base stations.

Experts pointed out that operators focus on making use of their own advantages and strive to do a good job in the communication and interpretation of users in the target district. For customers who are worried about radiation and care about their health, they should give full play to their thinking on the Internet, carry out publicity in a way loved by the masses, and eliminate people's panic about radiation by producing popular science cartoons, Wechat pictures and texts, organizing experience activities, and so on. Can also be appropriate to the installation of base stations for a certain period of time telephone fee concessions, do not engage in "off-signal" opposition with residents, and try their best to achieve the harmonious unity of signal, safety, and environmental protection.

This year is the first year of 5G, the density of 5G base stations will be higher, the equipment will be more expensive, and many small base stations will inevitably be near many homes. If the contradiction between operators and owners on base station construction is always solved by rough disconnection of the network, then the anti-base station thing will not stop in the future, and what will be hurt is the network use experience and social interests of the majority of users. then the loss of the operator will be greater.

So operators should stop doing the "stupid thing" of joint disconnection.
