1. What is Radiofrequency Energy?
•
Radio frequency (RF) energy is used to exchange information.
It is all around us and has been used for more than100 years.
•
Applications include radio, television, cordless phones, garage
door openers, baby monitors, wireless routers, and of course
cell phones themselves.
•
Cellular antennas communicate with cell phones. They send
most of their energy toward the horizon. They also “listen” for
cell phones. It is a low power technology.

not pose a health hazard.
