Accurately measuring 5G EMF exposure requires assessing both baseline signals and emissions under real traffic load, since 5G base stations transmit continuous SSBs while user data appears only in dynamic traffic beams. To capture worst‑case EMF levels, testing must include these traffic‑driven transmissions. VIAVI offers two complementary tools: XEdge, which generates controlled 4G/5G load traffic on a live network, and the OneAdvisor 800 Wireless, a portable RF and signal analyzer that measures the resulting field strength. Together, they provide a complete solution for realistic 5G EMF evaluation.
