(Radio) Waves that could cause damage to cells in their bodies and lead to illness due to this
radiation.
All Routers installed in the RIPPLE should conform to international standards limiting the RF
radiation presented by the RIPPLE
antenna. The majority of cellular (LTE/4G, 5G) routers are
class 3 devices that are limited to a maximum output power of 23dBm (200mW), while some
class 3 routers are allowed to transmit 26dBm (400mW) at higher frequencies. The
integrator/ installer need not be concerned by the maximum output power of the routers, as
the main concern is to only install routers that are certified by the various standard bodies,
i.e., FCC, ETSI, etc.
Mounting position promotes safety – Apart from the router transmission power being
restricted by the above-mentioned regulations. Mounting the RIPPLE as high as possible and
away from structures will also provide additional safety to any personnel or passengers on
the vessel. As they will not be in close proximity to the RIPPLE antenna system, therefore,
reducing the possibility of exposure to electromagnetic waves.
The following Website from the FCC provides more information:

High-Performance System – Whilst the above recommendations are set out to ensure
optimal performance and a safe environment. Care should be taken with the installation and
positioning of the RIPPLE. The RIPPLE consists of vertically and horizontally polarised omni-
directional antennas to provide the best possible MIMO performance for the routers installed.
It has been tested to give exceptional performance and outperforms any standard omni-
directional antenna that has been tested.
The RIPPLE has been tested and evaluated in field trials, off the coast of Cape Town in South
Africa, which delivered excellent performance in challenging circumstances and
environments.
Thank you for your purchase. We would love to get feedback on your installation; we are
eager to hear your comments and we are ready to provide you with support during and after
your installation.
