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...

Any product that contains an electronic circuit and generates any kind of radiation is an electronic product that emits radiation. Legal definitions of the terms electronic product radiation and electronic product are located in the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, Chapter 5, Subchapter C - Electronic Product Radiation Control.

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.

Yes, cordless phones can emit microwave, radiowave and extra low frequency radiation. Newer model cordless phones operating in the frequency band of 3-5ghz (higher than mobile phones), have the potential for high radiation output in the microwave frequency level. Since cordless phone users tend to stay on calls for extended periods because they are not timed calls, their exposure to radiation may be considerable. The best solution to reduce radiation is to use earmate™ See similar questions...

It is possible for a connection to be established under such operating systems. We, however, do not support any such installation or configuration and will not be able to help you out if you experience any problems. See similar questions...

Microwave oven is a non-ionizing appliance, that does not change the physical and chemical properties of food, and it only heats the same. Microwaves when exposed to the food get completely absorbed that help in heating / cooking the food. The heat is generated by causing friction between the microwaves and the food molecules. The microwaves are completely converted into heat and there is nothing left behind, in the food. See similar questions...

YES, your mobile phone is always communicating with the nearest base station to ready it for receiving a call. When it is communicating, it is emitting microwave radiation. The electrical operation of the phone also emits extra low frequency radiation. Our suggestion is to NEVER keep your phone on your body. It is especially important to keep it away from your head and other vital organs. We appreciate that at times it may be impossible to keep the phone off your body, especially while walking.

Yes, though not as much as when speaking on the phone. Unfortunately many people tend to put their phones in their laps when doing text messaging. It is best to move the phone as far as practically possible away from your body while doing text messaging. The phone is still communicating to the nearest base while your are texting and this is emitting microwave radiation. See similar questions...

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 and chemotherapy are two forms of treatment options used to treat various types of cancer, with or without surgical interventions. Radiation therapy is used for local control of the disease. It uses a directed and controlled beam of radiation to treat the tissue surrounding the surgical site to destroy and leftover cancer cells that may remain. Chemotherapy is used for distant disease control. 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.
