[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]With 5G there are cell phone towers everywhere.[/b] Look it up on the FCC site[/quote] This. It's odd, it seemed to make no sense to use 5G when 4G has a much greater range, reliability, and requires a fraction of the number of towers. Really got the conspiracy folks worked up with all that. [/quote] You’re thinking of millimeter wave spectrum, which is different than 5G. MMW spectrum was used for initial 5G deployments. Because it’s a higher frequency range than spectrum used for 4G, it has a shorter range, but does have faster speed and higher bandwidth (can carry more data). It’s not less reliable, that just depends on how well the coverage is done when it’s deployed. Although it’s also far more sensitive to obstructions, like even trees can stop the signal. So yeah, MMW didn’t make a lot of sense and required tons of small antennas all over the place, like on lampposts or utility poles. Anyway, 5G is now on a range of frequencies, including ones that were used for 3G and 4G, which has improved coverage. [/quote] MMW does require a bunch of additional equipment. In dense, urban environments it would make sense. While Sub-6 is easier to deploy, multipath signal problems and large numbers of users make MMW a better choice. We are getting there. I keep seeing new micro cells in my neighborhood. Mostly along the bigger roads. [/quote] Are micro cells as bad as tall towers?[/quote] There really isn't a consensus that tall towers are bad for your health (unless you are standing in front of the antenna.) There is some concern that high doses of non-ionizing EMF radiation are harmful. Those doses would need to be much, much higher than you can receive from properly installed equipment. Even if there is some associated risk, the general safety benefits of cellphones would vastly outweigh those risks, given their small size. This page is fairly neutral: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_device_radiation_and_health As for "classified as a possible carcinogen," that list is rather long and includes things like aloe vera. People rub that on their skin![/quote]
