Upon graduation, he joined the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Dana-Farber/Brigham and Womens Cancer Center, where he is a full-time clinician and researcher. If you advocate for fiber in communities, you need laws/ordinances in place that wont allow it to be used to put small cells that are used for 4G/5G on every street corner. Will you be writing a follow-up article that discusses the effects of fiber optic cable in connection with cell towers and small cells? Having a low-EMF home is a key aspect of getting better. Will be easier to go over all your question that way. viewed as harmless. Thank you for this informative article! I hope more people in Japan start to pay attention to this topic. I was surprised by your statement that: Those electrical signals, which carry our internet data, are not inherently problematic because they are in a very narrow frequency range and dont typically radiate from the cable or phone lines.. They plan to install an Optical Network Terminal inside my house. Is it usually on the outside or just everywhere? Do you trust lists like this for SAR ratings? Have any idea if there is such a filter available? I recently had fiber optic internet installed. done that. I used an AM radio to detect EMI and found the most EMI was coming from the modem, which is grounded following your instructions and is an Arris TM 7222G/NU with no Wi-Fi capacity. https://www.academyofemc.com/emc-standards.

I also apologize if you have answered any of this elsewhere and I just have not come across it yet (Im reading as much and as fast as I can!). Your Ethernet cables wont matter too much, as long as they are shielded and groundable with metal RJ45 endings. Thus, their power supplies and operation can generate high amounts of wide-spectrum EMI (electromagnetic interference). Inadequate transmitting power. I come from the medical and electrical / electronic industry. There is likely an EMI issue with their fiber optic converters that is impacting your home. body can absorb. Many newer fiber optic networks operate with zero power in between the signal origin point in the Telco office to the actual fiber modem / router / WiFi combo in the customers house. How do I find out where the underground cables are? But he did not know about the RF issues so I told him my story and gave him your website.

Yes, please send me the technical explanation (I am assuming you have access to my email address). Genisco Filters is a company that specializes in this issue. Environmental changes Having pure fiber run to each home with specifically selected/designed low-EMI ONT devices for the data conversion in the home and no small cells deployed in the community is a low-EMF future for all that also provides fast, secure and reliable internet. Learn More, Stay Connected As always, a collected analysis. Although the paper says there is no radiation in the area because of the observatory, the fact is that the observatory is old, outdated and seldom used other than for training purposes. Read through and watch these: Hi Jeromy! This EMI from the fiber optic infrastructure is a primary reason why electrical sensitivity is increasing when high-speed internet is installed in our communities. Every cellular antenna on a light or utility pole needs a fiber connection to operate. Here is an example of Hybrid vs Pure Fiber Optics: https://www.emfanalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Hybrid-Fiber-Optics-vs-Pure-Fiber-Optics.png. So Im online looking for articles to convince me to switch back over to cable and what type is best, etc. Wi-fi allows devices to connect to the internet.

Ive just been informed by Verizon that they will be suspending/disconnecting the current copper (landline) phone network in my community and I will lose my phone service in three weeks if I dont switch to their fiber setup. Thanks! While we dont know exactly how fiber may reduce cancer risk, it likely has to do with the fact that it helps improve some of the common risk factors for cancer. My current method of voice communication is Skype / Zoom from a low-EMF laptop with a grounded Ethernet connection. (2018). Pure fiber to the home is much better than a hybrid system or fiber lines that have a metal backbone (this will conduct EMI into the home). Thanks for sharing your experience George. Not to confuse with wireless which is thousands of uW/m2. I wasnt aware of some of this information! Routers and electronic devices, such as cellphones, In the review, Hardell says this is a conflict of interest. I am just preparing to go to NBN optic fibre, as I have no choice. and I came across your article re the dangers of high speed 5g fiber optic systems. EMI from Modem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lw1Tqu_R_sI Yikes! Evidence of oxidative stress after continuous exposure to Wi-Fi radiation in rat model. You will eventually want to measure the EMFs. (2016). What we need is pure fiber to the home (GPON) with no power backbone (no EMI) and a low-EMI media converter at the home. So, to cut to the chase, have you written about a health friendly infrastructure from signal origination to signal destination that would be safer? (2014). Please enable JavaScript on your browser and try again. Have you any idea if there is a filter that can be connected between the source of power and between VOIP connection and phones? (fight fiber optics with fiber optics). My town is installing Fiber Optics and theyve already staked the flags/markings on my lawn to begin digging here soon. This is especially the case if the fiber isnt also being used for 5G small cell antennas out at the street. Installed F.lux set at 2 400 K.
