Our patented interferometric array antenna shattered the FCC’s isotropic rule in 2003 via the Americans with Disabilities Act, improving hearing-aid compatibility and cutting user radiation. We drove the revival of Public Law 90-602, demand EPA oversight of RFR, and press the National Toxicology Program to resume its halted cancer studies. Beyond products, RF Safe empowers consumers with clear science and policy change—detoxifying our electro-ecology and realigning safety standards with the evidence.</div> </li> <li> <a class="ln-title"
