I just walkd in between high powered radio wave antennas...

[manlymatt83]

I work for an ISP, and the idiots had two LONG RANGE (6 mile) radio antennas setup about 30 feet apart in a room. They use them for long range wireless internet. They didn't tell me about it, and I walked right in between the line of transmission for about 5 seconds, before they told me "DUDE!! MOVE!!!"... in which I ran out of the line.

Apparently my boss says these things can seriously "fry your brain".... but I can't tell if they are messing with me or if these things are really dangerous. I feel fine, I don't feel like I was getting shocked or anything like that. If they hadn't told me I was in the middle of them I would have never noticed...

but yeah, apparently I had strong radio waves filtering through my head for about 5 seconds....

Comments?

Probably less than a watt of power.
It just kills your little swimmers for a few days.

Really? Antennas that go 15-30 miles have less than a watt of power? (i just asked them, they told me they go up to 30 miles and I was standing right in between them about 30 feet apart....)

So no permanant damage?

Hopefully you've been sterilized.

Unless your fillings heated up in the time you were standing there, you're fine.

Correct, If it's digital not much power is required
So no permanant damage?

You should be fine...

 

[dowxp]

I don't there isn't a problem. Really depends on the frequency and the amplitude of the signal.

Chill out. You got more exposure from your last X-Ray than you did walking between the antenna.

 

[manlymatt83]

Its an Airmux device?

Well now I'm just screwed. They've got one on one end of the building and the other on the other end, and its going through 6 walls and STILL talking to each other... thats some high pwoered stuff.

That's a 5.8 GHZ device for extending T-1 over wireless I believe. Power Consumption
25W max (RT and RTCB).

As I said chill out your last X-Ray did more damage to you than walking between the antenna.

 

[Imaginer]

Someone wasn't aware about safety procedures beforehand...

But now I'm not just walking through the antenna ... its going through me as we speak The jerks have them setup across the building

25W ... is that a lot?

And with the x-ray, they give you those blanket things...

 

[Demon-Xanth]

Antenna and transmitter are different things. You can have a long range antenna hooked upto a 50mW transmitter and it won't do a thing to you.

 

[Zaitsevs]

just makes you sterile for a few days, take that into consideration and do the hot babezZZ!!!!!!

 

[manlymatt83]

Its confirmed ... they are two AIRMUX 200 devices.. (I just checked)

 

[Demon-Xanth]

200W max power. Most likely using a whole lot less.
