Roy,

This probably doesn't help the overall EMF picture

but its news. Certain people should have these chips

implanted so we could use them as mobile antennae.

Tiny microchip could

cut antennae radiation

By Marina Esplin-Jones

LONDON Bermuda=92s Communities Against Radiation Emissions (CARE)=20
may be interested to learn of the development in Britain of a tiny microchi=
p
that couki signal the end of controversial cellular phone towers.
The Times newspaper reported last month that engineers at Leeds University=
=20
have developed a small transmitter box containing a micro-chip which they b=
elieve=20
could be used to reduce the "countryside blight" of cell phone masts. The
match-head sized microchip would also significantly cut the signal radiatio=
n=20
fuelling public health con-cerns.
The engineers believe their transmitter boxes could be on the market within=
 a year.
"All the equipment necessary to receive and transmit a signal couhi be incl=
uded=20
in a box the size of a cigarette packet," developer of the chip Michael Rob=
erts
toad The Times newspaper.
"It would make the transmitters we see in the countryside redun-dant and
drastically improve reception in areas where it is difficult to ~et a signa=
L
That=92s because the boxes could be attached virtually anywhere, on a tamp=
=20
post, a bridge, the side of a building."
The new microchip works by allowing low-frequency signals such as ~
person=92s voice to piggyback on much, higher electronic frequencies, such
as those used for radar, which travel at faster speeds. Current technology=
=20
sends slower signals which require larger, more powerful transmitters. The
Leeds research team believes it could have a proto-type ready within a year=
=20
selling for as little as =A3100.
One box would meet the cell phone needs of a single English village. Howeve=
r,=20
thousands of the boxes would be needed to cover a country the size of Brita=
in.
But a spokesperson for leading UK ceflu~ar/mobile phone provider Vodafone
said the microchip could "revolutionise the industry".
Britain has dose to 13,000 phone towers erected, while Bermuda has 37. CARE
is fighting erection of the Island=92s 38th cell phone mast in a Warwick re=
sidential
area near Dunscombe Road.
Bermuda Digital Company is erecting the tower to provide a second cellular
service to Bermudians. CARE leader Steve Thompson last week called for a
boycott of BDC, daiming it is being a bad corporate eiti~en by not listenin=
g
to the community.
Britain is facing similar community objection to cell phone towers because=
=20
they=92 represent an eyesore and there are fears their radiation may cause=
=20
cancer in humans.
