Tiivistelmä
The work of these wireless laboratory tests is to find the optimal configuration settings for reduced emission, specifically for home and a small office for a short range of 1 – 12 meters, to produce a reduced emission of the signal being broadcast by the device, either a router, modem, access point, repeater and or similar wireless device. Due to raised concerns of Health and Safety also limitations of the body in absorbing EMF. The process involves measurement of dBm quality, E-field, H-field and radiation levels in mW/m2 with appropriate meters.
At the initial stage, a review of the wireless technology and their level of security involved is described, includes future technologies, also protocols connections types of NFC, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi 5.00Ghz, Wi-Fi 6, Encryption and OpenVPN. Tests of their advantages and disadvantages, a review of the protocols and their relation to new protocols including interference caused and limitations of combined protocols being utilized during this process that will be conducted.
The laboratory test covers transmission rates, package drops, quality of connection, video buffering to establish if the connection has acceptable speed and bandwidth acceptable for daily usage. Some of the protocols used measured: Transmission (Tx) signal modulation, streaming of video content on High Definition, ping test and encryption using OpenVPN. Further to that, checks on the stability of connections will be pointed at reasonable acceptance in reducing the signal for extra safety and or concerns from the end-user point of view.
A review of the Finnish and European Laws that govern wireless devices, analyzes the best practices approach that could be used for future and previous technologies that uses Wi-Fi antennas. For better Health and Safety procedures and to avoid excess emitted EMF radiation, a concept of future features for wireless devices is advised with options to adjust the increased or reduced levels of TX according to customer needs. Regulators had discrepancies in their safety measures, showing that an external political organization dictates regulations for new wireless devices safety whereas biologists and other organizations within the field shows considerable lower safety numbers.
Results show that even with maximum reduced TX rate, within the parameters of the room, the wireless devices were still capable of transferring data at a high rate, stream high definition content and use VPN with the highest encryption without package loss. A concept proposal for manufacture is given where an easier option or mode should be implemented in their software for broader use of this ethical safety measure.
