Comment Is 2.4Ghz bad for your crotch????? (Score 1) 49
From the frequency, I suspect they're using a Wireless LAN system, probably IEEE 802.11
If it is 802.11, the transmit power limits are +30dBm (1 Watt) in the US, +20dBm (100 milliWatts) in Europe. These are the maximums, though, so the device might not transmit quite that much power.
On the other hand, 2.4GHz is near a peak of water absorption -- think microwave ovens (2.45GHz)!
Of course, exposure to risk is a matter of personal choice. If you're worried about mobile phones, you'll probably be worried by this. Me? I play with mobile phones all day. :-)
