Market Leaders and their Expansionary Development Strategies
In
Communication devices emit energy in the form of RF signals referred commonly as EMI. The energy (EMI) radiates in the environment and they are absorbed by the human bodies around the environment. This energy at a high level of absorption could become injurious hence the absorption rate into the Human body is referred to as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR), (ICNIRP, 1998). Emission standards have been set up by government institutions in various countries in order to protect the people from being affected by the hazardous emission of these Radio Frequency (RF) signals from wearble technologies
Key Target Audience
Wearable Computing Service Providers, Wearable Device Manufacturers, Wearable Device Distributors and Traders, Upstream and Downstream Buyers, Venture Capitalist, Research and Development Institutes and Others
About Approach
