We have a very sensitive son and we just found out that the fiber optic junction box will be in our front yard. Would the phone companies know? More research is necessary. Im about to pick a new net provider for the next year or so and am choosing between Xfinity coax which I already have, it has a clear impact on the houses DE, or trying AT&T fiber which is true fiber. (2018). I was thinking if I get the line to run to the garage and shield the converter, then run it to my own modem/router, would that result in less DE because I dont have copper running right into the house? There is no good reason to connect billions of devices which could be using up 20% of our electrical output for wireless communication by 2025. The place is a mess. 2.) Here are a few: 1.) An AM radio is also well advised. I think that we will eventually have a society where the biological impacts of EMF exposures are considered when equipment is designed. This is all leading up to a question: 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. The other place where the AM radio was extremely noisy (buzzed loudly) was when I held it up to the shielded ethernet cable (Cat 7) where it inserts into the laptop ethernet port. Most people are focused on RF, which is indeed a big issue (5G, WiFi, smart meters, etc). There are no truly low-EMF phones (and SAR is a very misleading calculation meant to give people a false sense of security). Your email address will not be published. This is what happens when it is done improperly with a cable modem: About EMI filters, what about those ones: https://www.curtisind.com/products/rfi-power-line-filters/? The ONT (fiber modem) is usually provided by the company. Thanks! In the review, Hardell says this is a conflict of interest. Thanks for this great article Jeromy! Do you have a YouTube channel? It is a new problem for my knowledge, so, interesting. Fibre helps us to poo more often, increases the size of Because it will be very expensive to get hooked up after they leave our neighborhood, Im inclined to go forward. + one computer tower is wrapped in a carbon plastic sheet, grounded This O.N.T. Now do I know, I am an EE so I do know a little bit about this stuff. If you can keep your same DSL connection for now, stick with it until you learn more about this and have a prudent path forward where you know the solutions will work for both of you (for instance GPON fiber to the home with a truly low-EMI media converter, once we find one that has been made). Could you clarify something for me? The concern around WiFi and routers causing cancer is due to the emission of these EMFs. World Health Organization, radiofrequency radiation and health a hard nut to crack (Review). Now they are threatening to cut off my landline service. WebThe fiber also can be used directly as a transducer to measure a number of environmental effects, such as strain, pressure, electrical resistance, and pH. That is very common. I would like you to go to this site, it will give you some more ammunition and to understand what and why this occurs. Thought they had as there were large box that always hear a fan at end of our street, thought was fiber. The meter started flashing red indicating 10x above extreme exposure level! Hardell L. (2017). Why are these towers needed today if they were not needed then? I typically recommend this high speed eco-router that can have the WiFi completely disabled (but has the option to have it on at certain points as needed). I was unable to learn whether it was a fixed ground based radar or an AWACS plane. That way I can get my electric fields down below 1 V/m as seen in this image: https://www.emfanalysis.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Recommended-EMF-Meters-2019-Safe-and-Sound-Pro-Alpha-Labs-UHS2.jpg. Our experts continually monitor the health and wellness space, and we update our articles when new information becomes available. The service requires full JavaScript support in order to view this website. In fact, youre likely reading this article on a device thats currently connected to Wi-Fi. See his book here: https://www.amazon.com/Tracing-EMFs-Building-Wiring-Grounding/dp/146990201X. Thanks for writing. The differential mode meters (Stetzer / Line EMI) wont pick this up. Please read the first couple paragraphs here to see my thoughts on this approach: Also watch my talk at the EMF Conference last fall where I mention this: https://www.emfanalysis.com/emf-conference/. Lets explore what the science says about Wi-Fi and cancer thus far. I have the lowest bandwith and find it to be adequate for my needs. Also, I have no experience with the Furman Power Station. Yes, there can be an issue with EMI on the electrical wiring and the data line coming into the home. ===== Thanks for sharing your experience George. This is why for now I recommend that ES people continue with cable internet. In other words, when I take the radio near my laptop and hear loud feedback, is that a response to the electric and magnetic fields of the computer, or is it feedback from the EMI or both? I would start with this grounding procedure (get the Ethernet ground adapter and the CAT-7 Ethernet cables): https://www.emfanalysis.com/low-emf-internet-connection/. You can learn more about how we ensure our content is accurate and current by reading our. I am just preparing to go to NBN optic fibre, as I have no choice. But right now we are faced with the decision to consent or not to Fiber Optics at our house. . Bluetooth uses short-range signals to allow devices to connect to one another and transfer data. I also know that it is best to use at bare minimum a CAT6 Shielded cable to reduce EMF emissions. According to the researchers, this suggests that Wi-Fi affects the heart. Pall ML, et al. One more question I want to switch from an iPhone 7 to a low emf phone. More research is necessary to determine if Wi-Fi and cancer are directly linked. Let's look at the details: EMF (electromagnetic field) exposure is unavoidable. [3] It has been shown that alpha rhythms seem to be related to the focus of ones attention: external focus on visual tasks diminish alpha activity while internal focus as in heavy working memory tasks show an increase in alpha magnitudes. I would be willing to pay for this like a subscription. I am just now learning about EMIs. Indeed, wonderful to meet you in person as well! I feel pretty certain those folks who will be moving into those apartments are going to be highly exposed to harmful radiation. What model of modem should I look for to connect with iiNet ? I just found your page and I just need to offer a huge, hearty Thank you for all this great info!! On next street is another box they go to repair my phone landline (needed repair twice in last 2 yrs (he said AT&T was trying to rid landlines). I would be sure to ground the connection before it gets to your computer. Or is it because the AT&T box where he installed? they will connect the Fiber Optic system to the computer/modem/router with a CAT5E cable. An example is that of the power supply units for laptops, netbooks, induction charging docks for portables like phones and tablets, as well as the desktop, let alone the All-In-One (AIO) computers. The main reason I want a smart phone is because I like to listen to podcasts and YT videos. Green Bank WV, Electrical Sensitivity Community. Thank you for the thoughtful update on the current fiber optic technology / installations. As usual your article is very interesting and clear. lightening) that can reduce speed of transmission. Heh, heh Like every other bird, insect, plant, and living creature, I was born electromagnetically sensitive. (2014). This is all getting so complicated and it seems the options are limited. I have a master's degree in engineering and had a successful career in Silicon Valley before I began to experience negative health effects from wireless technology and electrical pollution. However, it doesnt capture most of the newer small 4G DAS/5G antennas. Wow! I encourage you not to stay there if you are too close to the WiFi routers. Fiber optics would be much better than pervasive wireless signals, but there must be a way to make this infrastructure a little safer. I thought fiber optics would be cleaner! That surge has some doctors and researchers concerned that the daily bombardment of a variety of electromagnetic signals may increase our cancer risk. Nobody has accurate information like you do. Server 1 is going to disconnect my phone in two months and if I cant solve this problem with the power adapter and this problem of the 700-800V/m, then I am in real problems. This signal is then transmitted to a decoder, known as the router. So I went to the shed and turned off power supply to the ONT. I dont think SAR values are the best judge of the safety of a phone. As the article points out, it can be on the copper cable/internet lines as well. Fiber internet uses a newer technology, and therefore tends to be more reliable and faster. Consider filtering the EMI before it comes into your home. We employ a strict editorial process to ensure that what you read is factually correct. This would be a good thing for you, if you can get a low-EMI media converter that will transfer the fiber data to your copper system in the home.

As of yet I have not given consent, but time is ticking. I am working on the updated version of the book. https://www.emfanalysis.com/recommended-emf-meters/, How to Use Your EMF Meters: https://youtu.be/_aVINxa2ERA, Why inexpensive EMF meters dont work: https://youtu.be/TFcl05hkVkE. However, AT&T is using powered outdoor ONTs on the exterior home wall and running ethernet from there instead of going all the way to an indoor modem / router combo such as the Calix Gigacenter that I had mentioned previously. With the push for greater connectivity, this is a time sensitive issue! Ill send you some ideas on how to limit the issues with fiber optic service in your home. In a 2015 animal study, exposure to Wi-Fi altered the heart rhythm and blood pressure in rabbits. They never mentioned the MOA. And lastly, will devices like the sine tamer which is installed at the circuit box and designed to reduce dirty electricity reduce the EMI? Sometimes its the ONT device that ES people are reacting to. I know the modem is in the room below me and I know the side of the room where it is. Knowledge is power. Please enable JavaScript on your browser and try again. A nearby cell tower invades our house with frequency radiation. I am getting ready to buy a new home. The fiber optic communication and the routers themselves are the actual problem, its the type of switch mode power supplies many of them use. Now I am made surer that I did the right thing by getting rid of the fiber optics & 1 Gigabit router and went for a cable internet & a slower modem. Thank you for the excellent comment, Lex. I typically just run long Ethernet or fiber cables in my home. In short, I would hold off on the fiber connection based on both of your sensitivities. If you want to have a consultant come over to look at things, let me know your area. To summarize, not all OSP fiber networks operate the same way, and what you are describing (HFC design) is rapidly being replaced by larger fiber cables and passive splitter systems (GPON) that operate with no power in between the optical laser at the signal point of origin to the media converter at the end user. The two primary sources of EMI from high-speed internet service are the fiber optic converters at the street and the cable modem within your home.
