Pong™ Research Corporation was founded by an international team of scientists with unique expertise in the fields of plasma physics, environmental science, electrical engineering, antenna design, and health sciences. Among their breakthrough discoveries, Pong's scientists gained an understanding of how to "direct" radiation through the use of electromagnetic fields—the very science now embedded into every Pong case.
What is SAR?
SAR stands for Specific Absorption Rate and measures the amount of radiation in units of watts per kilogram (W/kg) absorbed by a cell phone user's body including the head. In general, the lower the SAR, the better the chances your phone is not a potential health hazard.
How Pong™ Works
Pong Works to Protect in 3 Unique Ways
Your cell phone emits a powerful form of microwave energy called electromagnetic radiation (EMR). Since the long term health effects of exposure to microwave EMR are unknown, most consumers desire to avoid unnecessary exposure.
Yet consumers also want a powerful cell phone with maximum signal strength reflected by the number of "bars" on their phones. Did you know that the signal stregnth of your phone is related to the magnitude or intensity of the EMR which it produces and receives? - The lower the signal strength, the greater the intensity of EMR emitted by your phone. Pong devices are uniquely designed to solve this dilemma for consumers.
Pong not only protects you from unnecessary exposure to EMR, but also optimizes your cell phone's signal strength.
Protecting the User: Reducing Up to 95% of Near Field Intensity
EMR within one wavelength of the user is called Near Field Intensity (NFI). When you hold your cell phone to your ear, you are absorbing between 48 to 68% of the NFI radiated by your phone. It is this radiation that underlies increasing concerns among physicians, scientists, and lawmakers who believe this exposure to be a health hazard. The NFI of the iPhone 4/4S can be seen as a white "hot spot" in the picture below on the left. On the right, using Pong, NFI has been directed away from the user.
Cell phone makers' instructions
"Do NOT touch your phone to your body."
Did you know that handset manufacturers themselves warn their customers of the exposure of cell phone radiation? For example, for the phones for which Pong and its partners create devices, Apple and BlackBerry state very clearly in their instruction manuals that accompany every sale of a cell phone:
