Beavers" Subject: Re: cordless (fwd) John, are you here referring to the ones one install in one's home? or are you referring to the kinds installed in office-buildings? For the latter (DECT-system) I have been given information that the individual telephone operates at about 1/10th the power of a mobile phone, and that the frequency operates at double the GSM (1900) - and that the base-stations send all the calls going on. I'd be glad to hear that the private ones - one cellular to one base-phone that you just plug into your ordinary telephone socket - follow the specification you mention here :-) But all the same since the effect on the human body is so "window"-like how do we know that this doesn't just hit a weak spot? And what about the temptation to sit for hours talking? with warm greetings, Ingrid High ---------- From: Roy L. Beavers To: emfguru@hotmail.com Subject: Re: cordless (fwd) Date: 11.

Cordless telephones have a base unit that is wired to the landline telephone service; these telephones operate at about 1/600 the power of cellular telephones and a much lower frequency (49 MHz)."
