But that's a TV antenna. It only receives, and has multiple antenna segments as well as reflectors and focusing elements to make it responsive over a range of channels. I actually haven't seen the type in some time, they might not work that well with DTV and many houses have cable or satellite anyway.
The antenna to send stuff to that looks very different, and would be transmitting with hundreds if not thousands of watts of power. Enough to cause some interesting things to happen if you live nearby.
About that. This looks like it belongs to a CB or Cordless Phone, either of which would be both transmitting and recieving. Just at fairly low powers, no more than a couple of watts.
People are way too scared of things they don't understand. Radio signals in general, such as cellphones, are considered non-ionizing radiation. They will not hurt you, other than possibly thermal injuries or electric shock from being right on top of it while its running. The radiation they emit passes harmlessly through most things. Its much lower energy density than nuclear radiations, which are capable of knocking the atoms in your body's molecules around and doing a lot of damage that way.
I actually played Mabinogi over 3G cellular internet for many years. While the game does run and you can do stuff, it is not a pleasant experience. The issue was latency- at its best it was roughly 130ms. Many days it would be over 200ms and up into 400-500ms if the towers were busy because of stuff happening in town. Its because of that latency that I main a mage, I didn't have to move or swing a sword and could rain death upon the fomors from a safe distance.
For an AFK event it would work well enough. Or just make use of one of many remote control technologies to operate your computer at home from your mobile device. Back in August I actually participated in an event while hundreds of miles away from home, using my phone to control my computer and push buttons for the event to work. It was rather unpleasant- the phone's controls are miserable when trying to simulate mouse and keyboard controls. But it got the job done.
