  1. Re:The difference (spectrally) is... on University Bans wi-fi as Health Concern · · Score: 1

    Yes you are correct. Of course I am just talking in general terms based on the legal permited outputs.
    However, it's radiation not induction that does the most damage.
    As I eluded to before, radiation hazards can be prevented by increasing distance from and reducing time of exposure to the source. Just commonsence really. :)

  2. Wot me worry as well? on University Bans wi-fi as Health Concern · · Score: 1

    I'm a communications engineer, and can confirm the safety of using wifi technologies, so long as the RF output from the equipment does not exceed approximately 100 milliWatts. The best protection that can be had from any ionizing radiation is distance. The minimum distance one should be to any type of radiation is 2.5 meters. Mobile phones are more of a risk. Although modern design is minimizing this risk now. Trust me, you won't be able to cook an egg with a couple of wifi dongles... :)
