Other exposure sources
A number of further applications create more or less strong electromagnetic fields in the radiofrequency range, for example:
- wireless local area networks (WiFi, WLAN)
- cordless telephones (DECT)
- Bluetooth devices
- baby monitors
- electronic article surveillance systems and RFID (radio frequency range)
- radar systems
- radio relay systems
- satellite TV and satellite Internet
- radio solutions for stationary Internet

Information about typical measured values for these and many other exposure sources are provided in the exposure source database. Other common applications in everyday life, such as wireless thermometers, wireless headphones, wireless alarm systems, remote switches, or remote controls in model making are allocated in the ISM band (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical Band), which comprises many different license-free frequency bands in the range from 9 kHz to 246 GHz (Source:ITU).
