5G

Has anyone started using 5G yet or seen mini towers being raised in their cities or neighborhoods? Is anyone concerned about the dangers of 5G radiation? Is it just nonsense to fear it?

I assume most people just think it means faster network speeds for their phones and internet so the answer would be a resounding "no, I'm not worried". What is the point and what is the danger? Are we being told the truth or are we inviting the next big tobacco into our homes and under our skin?
I don’t know a ton about 3G and 4G (maybe a wiser person can help me out) but they use 1-4 gigahertz which is 1-4 billion waves per second which is considered UHF. These can be used with large cell towers and have not been found to be all that dangerous.
5G are smaller waves and uses 25-90 gigahertz which means 25-90 billion waves hitting your cells per second and being absorbed into you skin. The waves used are often referred to as millimeter waves or MMW and are waves that range from 30-300 Gigahertz. This is also the freq they use at body scanners and screenings for TSA. These smaller waves also mean that they don’t travel as far of a distance and will require implementation of mini cell towers at closer intervals. These small towers will pretty much be on every block in major cities or within 300 meters of each other to ensure no loss of coverage once it is implemented.
Obviously the research is somewhat hidden or fuzzy about the effects of RF radiation in 5G but the continuous absorption of millimeter waves from these small towers to people who live under them is scary IMO.

Do we really need this? Why?

We were part of a test in our neighborhood in 2018 where the 5G antenna was placed on a nearby five-story building. The test homes all had windows that faced the antenna with direct lines of site. The company provided the equipment. There was an antenna mounted on the glass window. The receiving unit was huge, weighed many pounds, much, much bigger than a WiFi router, which is the third part of the unit. The techs, three people, were in the house getting it working for several hours.

Bottom line is we were getting 2.4Gb/s speeds from the tower and within the house itself 300Mb/s speeds, after we upgraded our WiFi dongles. Inside though needed some hassle as we moved the WiFi router to different spots. Walls, doors and floors are were problems and coverage wasn't very good. That said, the high speed signal was really high speed. We used it tons, got free stuff as part of the test, like a TV, and then they came back and took all the stuff away when the test was over. We got to keep the TV though.

But do we need it? Not yet. Our FIOS connection is way fast too. About 100Mb/s is major and lets us all be on line, all streaming high def TV, whatever we want.

It’s poison man. We don’t need this crap. We truly don’t. Do we need RFID chips in our hands to get onto transit like Sweden?

I saw on the news that they were going in in Bay County {Fl} to replace all the cell towers lost in the hurricane. Some folks are asking to have them removed. Just saw the one story one it.

I don't cell, so no knowledge of how the other G's work.

Since my cell service only works for about 5 mins out of the hour, and then only to let me know Ive missed calls, and tease me with the ability of being able to send a text, I don't believe I'll have a problem unless by chance they invest into a market that they have otherwise ignored.

The eyeballs are the first to "see" the damage. Lucky for AT&T one of the fastest healing organs as well.
