Greetings,
My question is: What gives of more radiation and harms your body more when you use the Kompakt as a hotspot? Is it Wifi or Bluetooth?
I understand that you can use the ethernet cablle aswell but was wondering which of the two wireless options is best.
Thank you!
Neither Wi-Fi nor bluetooth carry enough energy to remove electrons or damage our DNA. It’s all non-ionizing electromagnetic radiofrequencies.
Either are generally recognized as safe; however, there are still a lot of questions on the impact of non-ionizing radiation, such as this peer-reviewed paper at the US National Library of Medicine illustrates.
Further, there are current studies that attempt to define non-ionizing radiation’s role in breast cancer.
The University of Essex offers guidelines about the potential risks and ways to mitigate possible health effects.
You can always use an RF Exposure calculator to determine if there are acceptable, or unacceptable, exposure risks.
I know one of the people that certified radiation-emitting antennas and equipment for companies to comply with the State of Alaska’s and US Federal Government’s regulations and can tell you that he believes non-ionizing radiation, especially long-term exposure, is harmful. Not coincidentally, he actually died from cancer - twice - which the doctors believe to be induced by his job measuring both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation.
In the end, it’s up to you to determine if that’s something you’re okay with. There are 100s of millions of people who use bluetooth connected ear buds and other electronics daily.
As a rule of thumb, it is often recommended that you keep your phone at least some milimeters or centimeters away from your body.
But when we talk about possible effects of the radiation, it could be either long-term exposure to a micro increase in tissue temperature that could possibly disregulate some cell component (???) or certain frequencies could possibly resonate with certain cell components or chemical subcomponents of those (???) but to me it seems darn hard to tell and there’s too many other definitely harmful stimuli all around too simply blame EMF for anything in particular.
As far as I remember, BT uses 2.4 GHz spectrum and WiFi can use 2.4, 5 or 6 GHz spectrum. In some cases, there would be no difference in terms of frequency, yet both technologies utilize that spectrum in a slightly different way if you look at spectrograms.
