Physically tether via a cable a cellular modem to an iPad.
You are not describing your end goal. There are many solutions that don't involve a cable.

Some companies restrict wifi usage in the workspace while allowing cellular coverage. So while having an iPhone that is connected over 3G / 4G would be acceptable, a "hockey puck" using wifi to connect, would not
I would like to reiterate the original question: WIRED connection is needed between iPad (in my case 4th generation) and a cellular modem. Another example would be a WiFi external device. Reason? To limit the level of EMF radiation the user is exposed to.
Details I am interested in:
- would a Lighting/ USB adapter do the trick?
- what kind of modems you've heard about/ used
- any limitations on the length of the cable?
Thank you in advance.
You should be more worried about the EMF radiation from the sun, radio transmission towers, and microwaves than you should about WiFi. That beautiful stuff flowing from your computer screen, phone screen, and light bulbs (aka light) is also EMF. The infrared radiation emitted by warm-blooded animals? EMF. Sun rays? EMF.
And I don't think you can use a wired internet connection for an iPad, that would defeat the purpose of a portable device anyway.
there are no modems that attach directly to the iPad.
A wired connection between an iPad and a cellular modem just to eliminate EMF??? the modem itself emits radiation.
Even a lightning to usb adapter isn't going to do anything without support in IOS/hardware. AFAIK the only way to communicate to the web from an iPad is either wi-fi or cellular using built in hardware.
Thank you for your suggestions on how _should_ I be concerned or not about EMF or about the portability of portable devices but I have a pretty clear idea on that respect. I would appreciate answers focused on what I am interested to clarify. I truly believe my question was pretty accurate.
Right. It's not just a matter of adapting the connections. The iPad would have to support peripherals like that via USB.Back to the technical solution, you are saying that, regardless of the Lighting/ USB "conversion", there is actually no support in the iOS. Interesting...
Or get a lead apron from a dentist supply house and drape that over your lap.
Is there not any way to connect a cellular modem to the iPad?
