SafetyFAQ


I fell off the roof of my home after installing an antenna, and I need someone to sue. Who runs this fscking group, and who insures it ?

We are (almost certainly) not liable, but if you feel we are contact the comitee who will be able to give details.

Is 2.4Ghz radiation safe? I' ve heard it uses the same radiation as my microwave oven? Are you killing me / my chances to reproduce ?

2.4Ghz signals used for 802.11b/g are limited by law to a maximum total output of 4W EIRP this is far lower then a microwave oven by over three orders of magnitude. Even high output cards only put out 200mw (milli-watts) of power, and thus need an antenna to hit the legal limit.

Someone mentioned 4w is the max power output allowed. i want \"more power\" and I'm willing to spend some serious money to boost my signal (and to microwave my neighbours, the people who live in a 10km radius and the surrounding wildlife).

Then you will be breaking Australian comunications law and will be liable for a very large fine.
In addition we have links of over 50KM that are fully-legal, at that point the latency incurred by the distance starts causing serious problems and even if you could do a 500KM link it would simply be unusable.

How do I do this? Whats the deal with EIRP?


How in the heck do i work out my EIRP then ?
