Reading this article brought to mind another article I came across a couple of years ago about these transmission cubes that would provide WIFI locally to possibly individuals to begin to move away from the cell tower paradigm.  The cubes were about 3" x 3" or so.  But they could fit anywhere.  Maybe this is the direction this article is talking about.

Hey folks,

I came across an article in the March 2012 Popular Science magazine, titled Stronger Signals... It discusses a new technology called Super Wifi that operates at lower frequency (from 470 to 698 megahertz). It's also been called Wifi on Steroids. Hmmm... It has longer wavelengths so that it can travel farther and penetrate walls. It's said Super Wifi can quadruple the standard range of Wifi, so that a standard four watt outdoor transmitter could extend a hotspot (I just love that term, as it's so literal), that extends 2-3 miles in a dense city, or up to 40 miles in an open plain.

The article says this is scheduled to hit the market in 2014, but I've read elsewhere that Houston and other locations have already been testing Super Wifi, and it may start rolling out next year...

I found the online version of the article here: http://www.popsci.com/technology/article/2012-02/wi-fi-could-become-widespread-cellular

It seems Super Wifi is going to take unused airwaves between TV channels, so on the surface it seems it might be a potentially safer Wifi since it's not using microwave frequencies. Unfortunately it will still use digital pulses, so this is a concern, especially for rural areas where there have been less concentrations of digital pulses. Soon anyone could setup a transmitter that could affect people 40-60 miles away, as it won't be licensed like cell towers.

I can't find a lot of discussion about the health implications on the web yet, but I did find this article from Dr. Havas:

If anyone has additional info on Super Wifi, please share...  Oh what a world we live in...

I'm rethinking an earlier plan to go live in a deep cave. He, he, he...

Tim
