60GHz Wireless Networks

Why is our 60GHz Technology considered safe?

Modern V-band 60GHz radios meet all global standards for health and safety of wireless devices. Furthermore, our radios are the lowest power of any outdoor wireless device used today, anywhere in the world. These radios are located in areas away from direct proximity to humans and therefore represent the least exposure of any wireless device.

Is this 5G technology?

The radios described on this site do not use 5G standards or technology. They use an extension of WiFi technology, extended to the 60GHz band. This standard is called 802.11ad or 802.11ay, and is an international standard for wireless transmission, specifically intended for devices like these operating at these low power levels.

What forms of wireless are less safe?

Cellphones: The highest RF exposure you will get in your life is from your OWN cellphone, because when you use it, you hold it to your head whilst making a call. The transmitter in your cellphone emits at 1W (1 Watt) and is just 5 millimeters from your brain. The radio signals (typically in the range 800MHz up to 2.6GHz)enter your body, and actually do heat your brain.

What if I disbelieve the current advice/guidelines?

All humans have irrational fear: the fear of the unknown. We can calm our fears by reading up the latest advice and research on wireless standards and safety guidelines, or by listening to impartial experts who don’t work in the wireless industrying. As of today, ALL the advice is that low power wireless is completely safe, with no known side effects. There are no known adverse effects to humans.

Should we revert to NO wireless technology to remove ALL risk?

Wireless transmission is not new: Marconi pioneered wireless transmission in 1895 – 125 years ago. Ever since then our global population (now over 7 billion of us) have been surrounded by wireless transmitting devices, of all frequency bands and power levels.
