Compliance Level of Base Transmission Stations with National Environmental Standards for Telecommunications and Broadcast Facilities in Calabar Metropolis, Southern Nigeria
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering(IOSR-JECE) - Year 2018, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
The low rate of compliance with environmental standards in telecommunication and broadcast facilities in Calabar is linked to the low-level of awareness among residents in the study location as well as lowlevel compliance monitoring inspection by the regulatory agency. This study adopted a cross-sectional approach primarily used to determine the prevalence of BTS non-compliance with environmental standards.Primary sources of data that was used for the assessment included mast inventory/Geo-reference, questionnaires, field measurements and interviews. Checklist was structured to reflect the National Environmental (Standards for Telecommunication/Broadcast Facilities) Regulations, 2011.The study identified weak compliance of BTSs to Environmental Standards. This is partly due to the ambition of providers to maximise profit and weak enforcement standards. To enhance compliance, it is important that NESREA as a regulatory agency must put in place measures to increase the present level of enforcement. From the findings, the percentages of BTS that meet the National Standards are very insignificant.
