The alternatives would be ones like the one I mentioned as they would
not cause interference from outside when in a closed room. FWIW I know
people have experimented with 60GHz and 94GHz systems for this
precisely to get a high bandwidth 'indoor' system that would not be
affected by neighbours also using the same system. 60GHz also has the
'advantage' of high air attenuation so may not make it next door even
if it gets out of an open window! :-)
Does it also keep you warm in winter? :-)
Not at the power levels required for signal transfers across a room. You'd
probably need the order of a milliwatt for 'wi fi' types of applications in
a domestic room. Quite possibly much less.
Hesitate to say this, but I worked for decades with mm-wave beams in the
open lab at such levels - up to around 100 mW. And I don't *think* it has
done me any harm. }8-]
(I believe that 3mm waves have been used as a non-lethal weapon because
they can cause an intense burning pain.)
Yes. They have been experimented with for 'crowd dispersion'. But so far as
I know, the tests were decided to be rather poor in cost/effect terms.
Cheaper and simpler to beam from large 'electric fires' with big
collomating dishes! Powerful 95GHz sources are rather more expensive. And
easily defeated by tinfoil. :-)
Slainte,
