Is microwave safe to be around?

Again, the answer depends on the frequency and power output of the microwave signal as well as on the type of antenna, omnidirectional or point-to-point.

The "short-haul" private user microwave radios we build are high in frequency and efficient enough to operate at a very low power output (60 milliwatts typical), lower than even a cell phone transmission. Additionally, the microwave beam is narrowly focussed in a point-to-point transmission between antennas that are roof or tower mounted, far above human traffic.

Our microwave radios pose no hazard to the public whatsoever. If you or any of your coworkers are concerned at all, ask for a copy of our "Safety Paper". It's a layman's overview with supporting references from OSHA and the World Health Organization.
