What are the health implications of this?
- egwynn 11y agoIt doesn’t sound like they are talking about boosting the power output from access points, so I guess this is, WLOG, the same question as asking “what are the health implications of wi-fi?” I don’t mean to imply that the answer is ‘none,’ but this new development doesn’t seem to change any of the relevant primary factors (i.e., how much energy the human body absorbs from wi-fi transmitting antennas). EDIT: Sort of nevermind? I re-read and see that they are telling the access points to send more data, but not to send them above or beyond the antennas’ already-intended power output. So I guess the analogous question is, “what are the health implications of using your wi-fi a lot?"
- mtw 11y agoI wonder if someone experimented in boosting the signal x1000 and see if it creates side-effects in organic matter (of varying conductivity, for example skin, brain neurons etc.) Also "already-intended power output". If this available, there is motivation for buyers to hack the device and boost significantly the signal -- whereas there's little motivation to hack existing wifi devices
