What is Specific Absorption Rate?

What are SAR Levels?

Cell phone SAR levels are a measure of the amount of radiofrequency (RF) energy absorbed by the body when using a cell phone. SAR stands for Specific Absorption Rate and is expressed in watts per kilogram (W/kg) of body weight. SAR levels are a measure of the maximum amount of RF energy that a person can absorb from a cell phone without experiencing any adverse health effects.

Why Are SAR Levels Important?

SAR levels are important because they can affect the safety of cell phone use. The World Health Organization (WHO) has classified RF energy as a possible carcinogen, and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified RF energy as a Group 2B carcinogen, which means it is possibly carcinogenic to humans.

The amount of RF energy absorbed by the body depends on several factors, including the frequency of the RF energy, the duration of exposure, and the distance between the cell phone and the body. SAR levels are determined by measuring the amount of RF energy absorbed by a body-equivalent test dummy when exposed to a cell phone. The SAR levels of cell phones are required to be below a certain limit, which is set by regulatory bodies such as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in the United States.

How Movius Helps Prevent High RF Energy Usage and SAR Levels for the Better:

Our solution, MultiLine(TM) by Movius seamlessly integrates inside the Microsoft Teams CRM application for external voice calling and messaging. Through the integration, calls and messages can be made without using cell phones through wi-fi data on laptops and tablets thus preventing the use of cellular frequencies.
