PR Log - Jan 04, 2012 - There are two main reasons for conducting an electromagnetic and radio frequency survey or audit of a facility;

• To meet regulations and recommendations concerning the exposure of people to high levels of non-ionising radiation, better known as electromagnetic fields
• To ensure the reliable operation of information technology equipment which can be impaired due to electromagnetic interference

Electromagnetic interference can come from

• High voltage and/or high current cables
• High current transformers
• Microwave ovens
• Radar transmitters
• Medical magnetic imaging
• Mobile/cellular telephones and transmitter masts
• TV and radio transmitters

Capitoline introduces an in-depth electromagnetic audit of data centres and IT installations to determine answers to the following-

-Do you meet EU and US regulations on employee exposure to electromagnetic and radio frequency fields?

-Are you too close to power lines, radar, transformers or cellular telephone transmitters?

-Is your IT equipment likely to malfunction due to electromagnetic interference?

-Should you specify shielded data cable or optical fibre because of the RFI environment?

-Should your computer room/data centre be shielded?

The audit consists of a full on-site spectrum analysis of the electric field (V/m) and magnetic field (Gauss and Tesla) from 1 Hz to 20 MHz plus the RF field from 10 MHz to 6 GHZ (dBm, V/m, A/m)
