Abstract
Telecommunication technology has become a very crucial method of communication nowadays in all countries. However, there many concerns regarding the safety and biological risk from telecommunications towers. This study aims to analyze the number and distribution of the base transceiver station (BTS) in Khartoum state and assess the possible biological risk. Khartoum State was divided into seven districts are calculated and compared with the Ministry of Communications. This study's results were obtained from the Telecommunication companies (A, B, and C) operating in the Khartoum State (. Khartoum state has 2214 BTs distributed in its seven districts (area =22,142 km2). The largest number of antennas was found in Khartoum, with 515 antennas, at 23 %, and the lowest in the district is Karari districts, with only 206(9%). The number of BTS in company A has 10 locations, 0.1% and None share 817 , 99% ,In Company B =492 location ,share lactation 233,47.35% ,Non Share 259(52.6%) and the Company C has 791 Locations, Share location= 695 (87.8%) , Non share has 200 (25.28%). According to the companies operation, the mean share locations in Khartoum state 45.3%, and Non-share locations are 59%. The study revealed that the number of non-shared antennas in the state of Khartoum is greater than the common antennas, and therefore, the resulting emitted power is less than the Share antennas. The current number of BTs comply with international guidelines. Based on the distribution of BTs, the risk is minimal to the general population.
