WiFi 7 Radiation: What the 6 GHz Band Actually Changes
WiFi 6E and 7 added a third band. The FCC holds indoor 6 GHz access points to a lower power density than 5 GHz — here is what that changes at home.
Search any US address to see nearby cell towers, transmission lines, and substations — and get a combined exposure score for both RF and ELF.

01 · How it works
01
Search any US address or use your current location to check what's nearby.
02
Cell towers, power lines, and substations on an interactive map, with exact distances.
03
A clear 0–100 EMF score, so you can make informed decisions about where you live.
RF (towers · 2 mi) + ELF (power grid · 1 mi) = EMF SCORE 0–100
Lower is better · RF covers towers within 2 mi · ELF covers power lines & substations within 1 mi

A small New Hampshire town just became a case study in how much power local residents actually have when a wireless company wants to put a cell tower in their backyard. The Hancock Planning Board voted 3-1 to deny an application from Industrial Tower and Wireless to build a cell tower off Lee Farm Road — and now the company is suing the town over that denial.
The Pentagon just announced a new chapter in military tech that's worth understanding if you pay attention to electromagnetic exposure: the Department of Defense has selected four directed energy systems for a year-long counter-drone pilot program. The systems — AeroVironment's Palletized High-Energy Laser, Epirus' Leonidas high-powered microwave system, Kord's Firefly high-energy laser, and Boeing's Compact Laser Weapon System — will be tested by Joint Interagency Task Force 401 to see how they perform against real-world drone threats.
A UK company called Cambridge Heartwear has reportedly been awarded a £184 million NHS tender to supply what's being described as the world's first medical-grade, wirelessly charged, reusable ECG wearable. Beyond the headline details, specifics about the device's design, rollout timeline, and wireless charging specs haven't been widely detailed, but the news is already generating interest among people who pay close attention to wearable tech and the wireless signals that come with it.
