Minister Demir zal voor optimalisatie van stralingsnormen steunen op onderzoek uitgevoerd door imec-waves: "De methodologie [van het onderzoek] is een combinatie van literatuuronderzoek, workshops met operatoren, eigen onderzoek van de opdrachtnemer IMEC-WAVES (metingen en simulaties van blootstelling) en eigen onderzoek van het departement Omgeving (simulatie van toevoeging van 5G aan huidige netwerken)."
