330.0. "Hospital usage of Roamabout?" by OSLLAV::BJORN (Bj�rn Olav Haugom) Tue Feb 11 1997 07:16

I have a question about the usage of Roamabout products within the Hospitals 
in Europe. Do you know if there are any limitations to the usage of Roamabout 
products within Hospitals in your country? 

In Norway, usage of cellular phones (GSM) are prohibited inside the hospital.
They operate at 900 MHz, while our Roamabout operates at 2400 MHz. The radio 
transmitter in the GSM-phones are also generating more Watts (up to 2 Watts?).

Are there any rules we have to follow for the European Community? Norway is
not part of the community, but we still makes up funny rules to adapt to the
European Community rules.

330.1No problem with RoamAboutATYISA::POITEVINTue Feb 11 1997 10:4411
    
    In France at the end of the last year the ministry of health have
    asked to a compagny (CNET) some tests about the possibility of pertubation
    in hospitals of all the wireless products. 
    These tests have proved that in very little case you can have some
    pertubations with old medical products with GSM.
    Nothing for the wireless 2.4 Ghz (power 100 mW, roamabout product).
    Then the ministry have inform all the hospitals with these recommandations
    about this kind of possible pertubations.
