In prior articles, I have extensively addressed the issue of mobile cell phone towers and their adverse effects on both the environment and public health. Unfortunately, while residing in residential complexes, particularly high-rise buildings, I have observed the installation of outdoor Wi-Fi antennas by mobile operators aimed at enhancing internet connectivity within these apartment structures. These outdoor Wi-Fi antennas are discreetly positioned in areas such as behind elevators, within corridors, and hallways. Their unobtrusive placement, often exceeding 2 meters in height, makes them barely perceptible to occupants traversing these spaces. Remarkably, these antennas have a signal range extending up to 500 meters. Interestingly, these seemingly diminutive antennas are commonly installed in pairs, oriented in different directions.
Furthermore, you will find a concise overview of the manufacturer and detailed specifications elucidating the intended purpose of these outdoor Wi-Fi antennas in the following section.
“If you’re looking to add a little more long-range distance and strength and faster internet speed, and will be using the internet inside an RV, trailer, or other form of building, then adding an outdoor antenna will help you achieve maximum signal power and speed by picking up distant signals from a Wi-Fi signal source.
Adding an outdoor antenna to your Wi-Fi solution provides external Wi-Fi access or can create a wireless bridge.
If your Wi-Fi network suffers from limited reach beyond your home or office then you should consider replacing your router or access point’s WiFi antenna with a more powerful Outdoor Antenna. We offer a range of Outdoor Antennas that are Omni-directional, directional, high-gain, 2.4GHz and 5GHz that will help expand your Wi-Fi network beyond its traditional range.
The Outdoor Wi-Fi Antenna is a flat panel extender for routers with detachable antennas, in the 2.4-5.0 GHz range, offering Wi-Fi up to half a mile. The product seems to be compatible with all routers that have an SMA socket. The antenna is then fixed outside the house towards the direction of use, e.g., a metal shop or bunkhouse. Feedback from various customers confirms that it extends the Wi-Fi range Considerably, up to 200 or 600 yards or across a 900-ft cable.”
Upon entering and inspecting the apartments within the buildings where outdoor Wi-Fi antennas have been installed, and considering all the available information, it is evident that residences situated in close proximity to these antennas are unlikely to meet the EMF inspection standards. For instance, if a bedroom is located in immediate proximity to one of these antennas, the measured RF radiation in microvolts per square meter significantly exceeds the permissible biological norms established for residential environments.
Tenants and apartment owners living in these buildings should seriously consider ways to reduce their constant exposure to RF radiation.
