Page 28 | Abby's Magazine | www.AbbysMag.com So, what is all the panic over the new 5G technology roll out? Is it really that dangerous? I mean we have survived with all of the previous generations of cellular technologies. 5G is much more dangerous than previous cellular technologies because it uses millimeter waves of much higher frequencies. Within the radio frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, the higher the frequency the more dangerous it is. Also because of the limits of the frequencies used, in order for users to have good reception it is estimated they will need to put a mini cell station every 2 to 8 houses. This will multiply significantly the amount of RF Radiation we will be exposed to. What Is 5G? So often we throw around these technical terms and no one really stops to figure out what they really mean. 5G basically means 5 th generation of wireless technology. According to PC Magazine, each generation of wireless technology has been defined by its capabilities, such as speed, responsiveness, and how many devices can be connected to the network at any one given time. 5G is expected to be the "Rolls Royce" of wireless connections, if you will. Basically, 5G will make everything you do online a whole lot faster. We're talking nanoseconds to open a file, cruise the internet and watch movies and shows on Netflix. 5G operates in shorter signals, and because of that some tech experts estimate there will need to be base station for every 2 to 8 homes in an urban area. We're talking thousands, if not millions of additional base stations across the country just to make 5G available for everyone. Implementing the 5G infrastructure will be an incredible feat. There are hundreds of scientists and medical doctors from around the world that are calling for a halt to the role out of 5G. I list some of these on the Scientific Studies page of this website. And as I find more and more studies and information I am always adding to that page. More And More Cell Towers This 5th Generation of cell phone technology is being rolled out as I am writing this article. Most people are familiar with the earlier cellular generations called 1G, 2G, 3G and most recently 4G. And if you think back over the years, you will realize that as time has moved on, and as we have moved through the first four cellular generations, we have gotten more and more cell towers installed. Why is this? If you ask the average guy on the street "why do they always seem to be putting in more and more cell towers?" Most people would say "they are just trying to improve our cell phone reception". While this is technically true, what most people do not realize is that as we advanced from cellular generation to generation, the radio frequencies being used have increased. The higher the radio frequency, the shorter the wavelength is, and the shorter distance they can travel. So, we have needed more and more cell towers because our cell signals travel shorter and shorter distances. Yes, especially early on, we needed more and more cell towers for the different carriers to be able to provide coverage around the country. But as the generations advanced, and our signal distance capabilities shortened, we needed even more cell towers than we would have needed with earlier generations. Frequency Increases Data Capacity The reason that each generation needed to use higher and higher frequencies, is because the amount of data that needed to be carried by each generation increased significantly. 1G was mostly using the lower analog frequencies. These radio waves traveled very long distances and could go through buildings and trees. Since all we used was voice transmission this was sufficient. But higher frequencies can carry more data. So, with 2G and 3G where we got the ability to text and access the internet, we needed higher frequencies to carry the huge increase in data. The same is true with 4G as we got full access to internet video streaming capabilities. Again, we needed higher frequencies to be able to carry the huge increase in data. Why 5G Needs a Lot More Cell Towers 5G is taking the need for more cell towers to a whole new level. With the roll out of 5G technology companies are trying to create the "internet of things", connecting everything with computer functionality to the internet. From self-driving cars to your baby monitor, and everything in between, will all be connected and sharing data. Even hologram telephone conversations are in the workings as this technology rolls out. In order to carry this enormous and unbelievable increase in data the plan is to use dramatically higher frequencies. The 1G through 4G technologies used less than 6 GHz frequencies. 5G plans on at least using 24 GHz to 90 GHz, and possibly up to 300 GHz frequency. In these frequencies the wave lengths are millimeters long and highly dense. What this means to you and me is if it starts raining, or if you walk behind a tree, you would lose your cell signal. To overcome this technology companies are planning to increase the number of cell towers dramatically as well as implement a more sophisticated directional beaming technology. 5G needs this in order to pass your signal from 5G Radiation Dangers – Get The Facts! 5G Radiation Dangers – Get The Facts!
