Dr. Girish Kumar Elucidates on Different WiFi Power Transmission Standards

Dr. Girish Kumar Elucidates on Different WiFi Power Transmission Standards

"The Statement is not correct"


The statement is not correct, "There's no significant difference between Wi-Fi on or off"

There are three Wi-Fi power transmission standards, 10 mW, 100mW, and 1000mW = 1W. The lowest power transmitter of 10 mW has a limited range, which is within a room. 100mW is used generally in an apartment or office or schools. In a school, typically multiple units are used to cover  the entire school. 1000mW is used to cover larger range. 


Some details

can be seen at:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wi-Fi

When Wi-Fi is turned "ON", there is definitely increase in the
transmitted power. May be, Karl Reardon, an engineer with Planetworks who
volunteered his time and equipment to test the schools, did not use
proper antenna or equipment to measure in the desired freq. band.
If you want, you can use a low cost radiation detector (price USD 99)
to measure radiation from cell tower, cell phone, Wi-Fi, etc. I have
attached its User-Guide.

With regards.
