Making Technology Strides and Preserving Natural Beauty, a Great Combination!

How valuable is satellite-provided broadband internet to the world?  Is it worth those platoons of satellites providing the internet eclipsing the "view" of deep space objects from our research telescopes, which prefer darkness and radio silence for optimum performance?  At this time there are at least 800 Low-Earth-Orbit satellites in space, ranging from the size of a table (SpaceX) to the size of a sandwich (Swarm Technologies) and a grand total of 2,218 satellites orbiting the earth currently.  The FCC,...

E-Smog, a New Presence by a “True Original” Participant in the RF/EMI Shielded Clothing Market!

  E-Smog, one of the original brands in RF/EMI Shielded Clothing, is returning to the market with some new styles.  You are able to test the Shielding Effectiveness (SE) of the garments using RF meters and various other methods of testing.  Though there are many different testing methods available, one fact remains constant.  No matter what method of testing is used, there is a surprising difference in the level of RF/EMI exposure between no coverage (bare skin), coverage with regular clothing,...

5G-The Realization of its Big Promises Depend on Today’s Smart Planning

5G, the "5th Generation New Radio", comes from a proud family.  3G, launched in 2003 marked the beginning of the wireless telephone world, 4G was launched in 2008 and marked the first time that users were able to watch videos on their smartphones.  5G promises to take the foundation laid by these earlier wireless networks and radically transform the way that people communicate, learn, conduct business, travel, entertain themselves, and interact with the world around them for the following reasons. 5G...

Cell Phones-Are They Helpful or Harmful to Us?

The debate has been going on for as long as we've had cell phones.  They can summon help when we are in trouble, and allow pretty much instantaneous contact with the people we love.  They can help us find our way when we're lost, and help us check out at a store with the wave of a hand.  We all know that cell phones operate within radio frequency bands, acting as receivers and transmitters of RF to help us do...

Radio Frequency Devices: Are They Harmless, or are We Playing With Fire?

Microwaves have long been known to cause damage to body tissues when used at amplified power levels.  The noticeable damage caused at those exposure levels is basically heat-related, causing toasted skin syndrome, with "possible" links to tumors due to fragmented DNA, mutated cells, and cancers. It has also been speculated that even lower power microwaves can possibly impact the central nervous system, causing symptoms of dizziness, confusion, and memory issues.  The American neuroscientist, Allan Frey, who first noted in 1961 what...

Fly Me to the Moon….with the Least Amount of Interference Possible!

NASA has announced that its next moonshot will be a joint public-private project called Next Space Technologies for Exploration Project (NextSTEP).  Eleven United States companies are being asked for help in designing the spacecraft systems that will facilitate the successful completion of this project. This project will culminate with the first woman and next man to walk on the moon arriving there in 2024.  A portion of their work will be funded by NASA, and the companies will be expected...

Rack Systems protect your Server's Data!

Want to Protect Your Server System AND Cut Down on all the “Noise” in the Server Room? Put your Server in a Rack Cover!

When a company needs to protect its sensitive digital information, they improve their digital security by incorporating firewalls and virus scan programs into their network servers.  This is smart practice by the network administrators, but today's criminal is always developing new techniques to steal digital information.  By eavesdropping on the wireless signal of the servers, a "digital criminal" can access a company's most sensitive information. You store a lot of sensitive information in your Server or Blades.  How are you going...

5G-Growing by Leaps and Bounds with Microwave Technology

5G, that's the short name for 5G NR (Fifth Generation New Radio) technology that you've been hearing so much about for the last couple of years.  5G is the next generation of internet connectivity that is supposed to be faster than the current 4G technology, which was initially touted to give a speed of 300 Mbps , and really turned out to be about 100Mbps when implemented.  5G promises speeds of 1.4 Gbps, though the actual final speed remains to...

RFID-It’s Not Just for Inventory Management Anymore!

RFID has been around since the end of World War II.  One of the early uses of RFID was for inventory management.  The inventory was accomplished by scanning the RFID Tag, the inventory was sent to the computer, logging in the presence of the item in the available inventory. There are two different forms of RFID Tags, each based on how the information from the RFID Tag is transmitted to the scanner.  A "passive RFID Tag" means that the tag is...
