title: Micro-cells coverage for mobile telephony: an alternative way to reduce EMF exposures.
abstract: The aim of this article is to describe networks that are constituted of micro-cell Based Transceiver Stations (BTS), substituting for the conventional networks that are based on the employment of usual macro plants. Specifically, we present a micro-cells network designed to substitute for a conventional BTS network, in the Don Sturzo Park in the city of Venice, Italy. The lower environmental and healthy impact due to a micro-cells network compared to a conventional network is discussed.
