Wireless Products – Constant vs. Intermittent Emitters

Posted on by
Apple Watch continually emits Bluetooth, but theoretically stops when you shut the watch OFF.  The Bluetooth Fitbit bracelets does not shut off, except for in the newest model supposedly…. and Tile’s Bluetooth never shuts off.  Tile consists of RF-emitting squares you can put in your wallet, briefcase, on a key ring, bike, etc. Here is what customer service revealed:

Hi Deborah,
Thank you for your chat with our agent and message.
I am a Technical Specialist and wanted to apologize for any delays in our response. I talked extensively with our engineers regarding your question, it is a little bit vague but we did have an answer for you.
Much of our more in-depth technical information is not available to the public however in general, our power density, as in signal strength of the Tiles are as follows:
In close range, under 5-10 feet, the Tile will measure at -20 dBm, and at max range which is around 100 feet, the Tile will be around -100 dBm. It will vary in-between -20 dBm to -100 dBm depending on your distance and environment you are in.
I hope that this answers your question. We thank you for your inquiry and interest in Tile.
If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, feel free to reply back and we will assist you promptly.
Best Regards,
Darwin @ Tile

Hi Deborah,

Thank you for your message

The power density is so low that it is essentially negligible. The Tile is very low voltage device, so low and safe that we are definitely covered under all safety thresholds.

If you are worried about the power density having adverse or negative effects on you or your family members, our devices are all within federally approved ranges.

Thank you again for your inquiry, I look forward to you reply.

Sincerely,
Darwin @ Tile

You can see from this EMF-Unit-Conversion-Chart  that -20 dBm, the amount of radiation they say you will find within 5-10 feet (the distance will be closer than that- and the radiation will be even higher if in your wallet, pocket, or bag) is 0.121 µW/cm² (1210 µW/m²) – an amount you will find in the parking lot that has a cell tower in it.  

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) suggested in 1993 that being too close to a cell tower is  undesirable since they recommended not siting them near schools or hospitals…. and yet we now have people walking around with the equivalent of that or more radiation emanating from their person or objects in their bedrooms and/or offices.
