JRS Eco Wireless
This company sells a type of wireless router that cuts your Radio Frequency field emissions quite a bit over a standard router. It is still using wireless, so not the optimal solution, however this can be a useful product for certain situations. These routers don’t transmit continually, like a standard router, they cut down on active transmission pulses and also switch to an emitting-free standby mode.
Aaronia Shielding Materials
There are a variety of well-made shielding fabrics from this company.
Note: Before using any type of shielding, measurement of the area before and after installation is a must. Shielding can often result in higher levels in certain areas as the movement of frequencies from multiple sources gets complex. Knowledge on how to use the meter is equally important as the meter itself.
No Choice Clothing
