Are there any health issues with Wireless Broadband?
Yes. If you are installing your own roof-mounted external antenna, be careful not to slip off your roof, or you could get seriously hurt. Other than that, all equipment used by the 802.11 standard has been deemed safe for public use by almost all world governing bodies. In the US, it is legal for unlicensed users to broadcast with up to 4 watts. In Europe we have a limit of 1/10th of a watt, or 100mw total output at the antenna. compared to a mobile phone, which can use up to 2 watts power, and mobile phone base stations which can use up to 20 watts power, we are just a drop in the ocean. Most people are unaware of all the microwaves bouncing around us anyway. you have mobile phones in every house. cordless DEC phones, geo-stationary satellites broadcasting from the heavens, traffic management controls on the roads, BBC broadcasts over the airwaves (not TV, but direct broadcast of live sporting events etc.), and about a million other signals bouncing around us at any given time.
