Small cell antenna installation. The radiation from small cells is not small wireless antennas emit microwaves non ionizing radiofrequency radiation and essentially function as cell towers. Small cell nodes are in fact pretty small about the size of a pizza box or a backpack. Each so called small cell installation has antennas on the top and electronics cabinets at the bottom.
