Dialing information. (The Beat).Reacting to pressure from consumer groups, three of the world's largest mobile phone manufacturers have announced that they will begin providing radiation information with their products. The information, to be included in user manuals for phones made by Ericsson, Motorola, and Nokia, will contain each product's specific absorption rate Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is a measure of the rate at which radio frequency (RF) energy is absorbed by the body when exposed to radio-frequency electromagnetic field. The most common use is in relation to cellular telephones. (SAR (Segmentation And Reassembly) The protocol that converts data to cells for transmission over an ATM network. It is the lower part of the ATM Adaption Layer (AAL), which is responsible for the entire operation. See AAL. SAR - segmentation and reassembly ). This standard, set in conjunction with the European European emanating from or pertaining to Europe. European bat lyssavirus see lyssavirus. European beech tree fagussylvaticus. European blastomycosis see cryptococcosis. Committee for Electrotechnical Standardisation Noun 1. standardisation - the condition in which a standard has been successfully established; "standardization of nuts and bolts had saved industry millions of dollars" standardization , is a measure of radiation absorption measured in W/kg body weight. The current maximum safe SAR is 2.0, though most mobile phones now on the market are rated between 0.5 and 1.0. Ericsson spokesperson Michael Westmark says the SAR value indicated on the phone package will be the maximum value and that callers would very seldom reach the maximum level in a properly constructed network. |
