BeCom's technologies adhere to all applicable government rules and equivalent rules that pertain to radio frequency (RF) exposure levels. Such rules are based on the scientific evidence presently available and incorporate significant margins of safety to ensure the health of the general public. The risk of harmful exposure to any radiated energy is a function of the frequency of the radiation, the power of the energy, the proximity and the length of time of exposure.

Radioactive seeds emit low-energy gamma rays (which are like x-rays) and low energy beta particles (which are like electrons). However, the titanium shell of the seed filters out nearly all the emitted radiation except that which is desirable for the treatment of cancer. What the seed ultimately emits is predominantly a low-energy gamma ray that is a very weak type of x-ray. See similar questions...

This is a statement commonly made by doctors who lack sufficient experience, or technique, in performing large sessions. The amount of hair needed for the average large session is well within the safe limits of what can be moved, provided that the procedure is done properly. It is the experience and judgment of the surgeon that will insure that the amount of hair that is harvested from the donor area is safe and appropriate. See similar questions...

The setup fee associated with BeCom Wireless only includes the installation of one point. After the initial installation, you are free to configure your own home network to share the connection, however, we are unable to provide support for any home networks or PC's that are not directly connected to BeCom Wireless.

Bamboo-carbon nano particles can absorb far infrared radiation from the environment, and emit them to help in cell activation, promotes blood circulation and metabolism in the long run. See similar questions...

We only support 802.11b and 802.11g technologies at 11MBps and 54MBps respectiviely. The slower 802.11b is available at locations used during the initial pilot scheme though most locations now support 802.11g as well. We will continue to support these standards for the foreseeable future. The next generation wireless 802.11n, running at speeds upto 540MBps, is not due for release until at least late 2007. Make sure you have correctly set the SSID to magpie and switched off encryption. See similar questions...

Amounts of radiation released into the environment are measured in units called curies. However, the dose of radiation that a person receives is measured in units called rem.

The levels of microwave and ELF emitted from cell phones into the heads of users are millions of times above the levels of corresponding, naturally occurring background EMFs. Furthermore, the emissions from cell phones are totally different in their structure from natural background EMFs. Cell phones emit constant bursts of microwave and constant pulses of ELF; fields in nature have totally random properties. See similar questions...

They emit what is known as electromagnetic radiation. However, the type of electromagnetic radiation emitted is further classified as "non-ionizing" radiation. See similar questions...

A.) The primary reason was cost and variety. Even in the beginning 802.11x client costs were too high for our client model. As manufacturers began producing components to a global standard, the prices fell and capabilities increased. Now there are radios, PCMIA card type, Ethernet, USB and PCI slot based with internal or external antenna. The equipment now is in the hundreds of radios available, which are small, powerful, and consume little power. See similar questions...

Radiation is a special kind of energy carried by waves or a stream of particles. It can come from special machines or from radioactive substances. When radiation is used at high doses (many times those used for x-ray exams), it can treat cancer and other illnesses. Special equipment is used to aim the radiation at tumors or areas of the body where there is disease. The use of high-energy rays or particles to treat disease is called radiation therapy.

The general view is that the shields that are advertised as reducing RF radiation absorption are unnecessary and ineffective. The FDA in the USA states "these products generally do not work as advertised" and "the so-called shields may interfere with proper operation of the phone". The Federal Trade Commission in the USA has charged companies selling these devices with making false and unsubstantiated claims. For more on this, see www.fda.gov.cellphones/qa.

Ans: WiMAX and WiFi will coexist and become increasingly complementary technologies for their respective applications. WiMAX is typically not thought of as a replacement for WiFi. Rather, WiMAX complements WiFi by extending its reach and providing a 'WiFi-like' user experience on a larger geographical scale. WiFi technology was designed and optimized for Local Area Networks (LANs), whereas WiMAX was designed and optimized for Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). See similar questions...

Mobitex is a proven technology used for mission critical applications. There are many business users that need to be absolutely sure that they can rely on the communication to work at all times. For these users, the network must always be available. There should be no risk of the network being blocked by voice traffic for example during rush hours, at accidents or large events and certainly not during terror attacks or incidents.
