Pros and Cons of WiFi technology
Thanks to the ease of connection to the Internet and the convenience of having no cables to connect with consequent bulk and mobility restrictions, Wi-Fi technology has become a must-have in our homes and workplaces.
This revolutionary technology, commercially available since 1999, eliminates cabling for computers, reduces the cost of using cell phones and allows you to connect to the Internet from any location within the signal coverage area. Despite these benefits, studies continue to show that the radiation generated by the wireless router is negatively affecting our health.
There are dozens of studies in the scientific literature, published after peer reviews that demonstrate the negative biological effects of exposure to Wi-Fi, including headaches, sperm reduction and significant increases in oxidative stress. In addition, brain damage, cancer, malformations, spontaneous abortions, alterations in bone growth were highlighted in rats.
WiFi in everyday life
Nowadays almost all of us, whether for work or leisure, can no longer do without using WiFi; it is important to know that turning it off during the night is a precaution to be taken, because it is during the night phase that our body relaxes and becomes more vulnerable to Radio Frequencies.
In this phase of rest, based on the Circadian rhythms that regulate the day/night rhythms in the human body, seasonal phases etc. the maximum biochemical activity of the pineal gland (epiphysis), is activated with the production of hormones such as melatonin and other elements, that are indispensable for correct psychophysical homeostasis.
If no type of Internet navigation or active use of the WiFi network is in place, the modem still emits pulses of radio signals called “Beacons” in very rapid succession, this 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, in practice there is always a constant radiation.
It’s scientifically proven that this continuous emission of pulsed digital signals, even if of low intensity, has an effective biological impact able of causing, in the short term, disturbing conditions of various kinds which then in the medium/long term can evolve into real pathologies.
Specifically, the age group between infancy and adolescence records a greater negative biological effect due to various factors including bone structural conformation, greater presence of body fluids etc. The tissues of young people are more sensitive and prolonged exposure can cause even serious disorders; this dynamic is even more pronounced for a pregnant fetus.
Any solutions? Orbis783 WiFi Eco
Orbis783 WiFi Eco is a technological solution developed by us, able of drastically reducing the density of the WiFi signal emission emitted by the FRITZ Box 4040 Access Point. The result is a reduction of 90% of the radiation emitted during Stand By and 15% during navigation, the emission of Beacon signals goes from 10 every second to 1 every 3 seconds, both in stand by and during navigation.
