Expanding the efficiency of 3G and 4G networks, 5G applies EHF (extremely high frequency) bands to transfer signals to our phones and other wireless devices. Relying upon these superior and innovative broadband frequencies, 5G can process enormous amounts of data at lightning fast speeds thereby galvanizing the industry standard for wireless communications. The past decade has shown an exponential increase in society's dependence on wireless technology. The current infrastructure however, is not sufficient to accommodate this upsurge. Dated technology is resulting in overall slower and unstable connections. 5G's use of EHF offers the answer in the form of instantaneous download/upload capability, allowing unprecedented amounts of data transference at speeds 100 times faster than that of 4G. The potential of 5G is truly unknown: 5G can enable unlimited applications from automated automobiles to household appliances redefining entire industries. Intensity of High Frequency Exposure The infrastructure of 5G is radically different. Both 3G and 4G employ radio waves which are transferred from one large cell phone tower to another. Since radiation dissipates with distance, risk is reduced if you are not in direct proximity to the source. The high frequencies used in 5G have short range and are limited in their ability to penetrate obstacles and dense materials. Therefore they require a preponderance of mini portable base stations that will be placed every 300 yards or so to form a dense platform that relays signals from one station to the next. These cell sites can be easily placed on existing buildings and telephone polls creating an intricate and unrelenting background of electromagnetic energy. 5G Health Effects & Radiation Exposure A growing body of research affirms electromagnetic fields (EMF) produce adverse health conditions. The concern of 5G is the danger inherent in increased speed and the amount of radiation exposure once it is implemented. Proven negative impact upon the body starts at 6GHz. 5G uses broad spectrum bands in the 30GHz to 300GHz range. Close proximity and prolonged exposure to cell sites intensify the risk. Transmitter boxes stationed outside your window make EMF impossible to avoid. Additionally the number of network antennas needed to facilitate this upcoming surge is estimated to leap from 300,000 as of 2016 to millions of small cell transmitter as the use expands. Increased too will be the amount of low orbit 5G satellites that deliver focused beams of micro-wave frequency signals to everything from network stations to automated automobiles.
