I work in a relatively small office space (approximately 10mx6m) with 4 sets of DECT telephones within 3m of each other plus a wireless internet setup. Although each device individually meets a safe radiation standard, is it still safe in this situation if these base stations radiate permanently at a short distance from each other? In other words, is this an electromagnetic murder pit or is it not that bad.
When it comes to radiation in the literature, it is soon only about GSM radiation and masts, but here it is specifically about DECT telephones that have a different way of radiation.

I cannot answer your question ‘scientifically’: much less has been published about DECT than about GSM radiation. At first glance you would think that a DECT uses much less power than a GSM, which works with a transmission power of up to 2 W – a value that a DECT can hardly achieve for years. But I want to tell you something from my own experience: at the time I worked in an office building that had a parking garage. If you were further away from a window, especially in the parking garage, my cell phone would stop working. But the DECT telephone (the base station was on my desk on the ground floor) worked happily and flawlessly throughout the building, including the parking garage.
