Environmental Issues • Health and Safety • Antennas
Magnolia Road Internet Cooperative is very
concerned about the safety issues involved in wireless technologies. MRIC
has attempted to gather all of the latest information on the safety issues
involved prior to committing to these technologies. The 802.11b technology
that we are proposing uses very low radio frequency power levels of less
than 1 watt. We also plan on using highly directional antennas to aim the
radio frequency signals as tightly as possible. These facts coupled with
the latest research indicate that these emissions pose no safety issues
for anyone normally exposed to this technology. The exposure that the average
user will experience is less than that of a cell phone used with a hands
free kit. The exposure is less than any cordless phone technology.
