Hi Roy

The message about Lucient Technologies (who, by the way, originally
subscribed to my old newsletter and then refused to pay the subscription
cost after receiving all back copies: I must have wrote something they did
not like!)) may be relevant to the current debate in Australia/New Zealand
in relation to incorporating the ICNIRP limits for these countries.

Does anybody know at what frequency  the  WaveLAN(R) Ethernet Converter
works at (possibly high GHz?) and the possible emission levels.  Microwave
News earlier reported on a Hewlett Packard wireless communication system
that operates at 64 GHz and had emissions in the order of 5000uW/cm2. (I
can dig up reference if needed) I ask this question because it is possible
Lucient's technology will not be able to be used in Aust/New Zealand under
the current AUS/NZ  RF/MW Interim Standard: 200uW/cm2 for public exposure,
1000uW/cm2 occupational.
