Band selective measurements allow for a detailed differentiation of the different electromagnetic field sources. The 16 bands covered by this device include all major wireless communication and broadcasting services, including LTE. ExpoM stands out due to its true-RMS detection method. This approach ensures modulation insensitive measurements, allowing for meaningful cross-standard field value comparisons. Additional features include GPS based outdoor localization and Bluetooth connectivity. The integrated Bluetooth module allows to stream the measurement data to any Android based device for real-time display and processing. This approach offers a high degree of flexibility effectively combining accurate RF measurements with the versatility of a modern smartphone or tablet. The first device of the ExpoM platform available is the ExpoM - RF radiofrequency exposure meter consisting of the metering unit, a software utility for displaying and exporting the data together with customized smartphone apps. Further ExpoM exposure meters will follow allowing to monitor and measure various frequencies of electromagnetic fields. Recorded Data may be easily transferred to the internet for public view or institutional usage.
