Are wireless networks safe?
This was the core issue at a Wireless Network Panel at Holton Arms School in Maryland in May 2000. A representative from the FCC on the panel described how wireless access points and radios (in the laptops) do emit small electric fields, but the level of energy that is released is much smaller than a typical cell phone and other devices in the school environment. He felt there was more risk from exposure to microwave ovens and cell phones than from the wireless technology in laptops, and overall he was not concerned about wireless networks and laptops in schools.
