EXEM is a laboratory specialising in monitoring electromagnetic exposure, and the French leader in public exposure. At the start of 2021, its CEO, Guilhem ASTRE, is announcing the launch of its “EMF Observatory”, an innovative service for monitoring electromagnetic field changes to accompany the rollout of 5G.
Tested in preview with the French National Frequencies Agency (ANFR) in Marseille, Nantes, Paris and Bordeaux, this service is of major interest to local authorities. Against the backdrop of the rapid digital transformation of our society, the EMF Observatory is an impartial and reliable tool for shedding light on the societal debate, which often pits economic development against environmental and public health concerns.
Founded in 2010, EXEM is a company specialising in the monitoring of human exposure to electromagnetic fields. It is headquartered in Toulouse and has numerous offices throughout France.
A leader in the public exposure market, EXEM operates as part of the electromagnetic field monitoring system set up by decree and funded by ANFR.
Today, all French citizens and town halls can benefit from this scheme to monitor exposure in their homes and public places. Its expertise also covers the monitoring of worker exposure made compulsory by decree 2016-1074.

EXEM is now diversifying its offering with the launch of the EMF Observatory, a service resulting from its R&D activity. This is an electromagnetic field exposure monitoring system based on the deployment of a network of connected sensors in a dedicated area. This new service allows real-time monitoring of exposure levels via a public website www.emf-observatory.com.
Dedicated to local authorities, this service has been designed to help them provide transparency to their citizens. These “broadband” sensors, manufactured by EXEM, measure exposure to electromagnetic fields emitted by all equipment in bands ranging from 80 MHz to 6 GHz around ten times a day. This electromagnetic field includes FM radio, digital terrestrial television, Wi-Fi and all mobile phone technologies. The dedicated website allows citizens to monitor changes in their exposure in real time.
“As a laboratory specialising in monitoring human exposure to electromagnetic fields, EXEM is breaking new ground in the smart city ecosystem with the first electromagnetic field observatory to meet the need to monitor digital networks. Neutral and independent, EXEM has chosen to contribute its expertise to support elected representatives in the current social debate on electromagnetic exposure,” explains Guilhem Astre, EXEM’s Chairman.
