You see, the 5G network is planned to be1000 times faster than the current 4G, but it requires cellphone tower equipment to be much closer to you than ever. Providers will have to install about 300,000 new antennas – about the number of all cell towers built in the last 30 years.
All that means 5G is NOT just a new technology for your phone — it’s actually a significant paradigm shift, like the shift our society made 30 years ago from using typewriters to using computers. You see, 5G isn’t just a phone network. 5G will become the foundation of an entire ecosystem of fully connected intelligent sensors and smart devices, like a refrigerator that knows when you need milk and orders it from the store.
5G systems will transform all our economic and business policies, blurring geographical and cultural borders. It will be able to deliver seamless, continuous connectivity for all kinds of business applications. Think Facebook — just a few short years ago Facebook was just a nice way to stay in touch with your friends. Now they have their fingers into everything!
Though the high-frequency waves that 5G uses offer much faster speeds don't travel as far as current 4G systems. So instead of a few large towers spread far apart, 5G will require many "small cell" sites much closer together.
You see, 5G uses much shorter waves that don’t travel through buildings so to make sure the signal is reliable, small cell stations will be everywhere -- outside your apartment, down your street on a light pole, at the supermarket — all using our existing infrastructure like street lights. But they’re not so “small” when they’re virtually in your front yard!
Current plans are to install “small “5G cell towers every 300 meters or so on every street in the country. That’s almost one on every block in your home town. These 5G “small cell’ antennas will irradiate virtually everyone living nearby or walking down the street continuously, not just when you’re actually talking on your phone. Limiting your time on the phone, using the speakerphone, getting radiation blocking phone cases and radiation shielding headsets can help reduce your exposure somewhat.
If you have an office make sure you turn off your Wi-Fi router when you’re not there. Also, keep your cell phone out of your room at night as some studies have linked cell phone radiation to disruptive sleep patterns.
This will dramatically increase the risk of cancer and other diseases already associated with cell phone use. One doctor said that the lower frequency millimeter waves used in 5G could cause major skin, eye, and nervous system problems. Because they are weaker than microwaves, they’re mostly absorbed by the skin. Since your skin contains many capillaries and nerve endings, the biological impact may be transmitted through the skin and into your nervous system.
Some experts believe the best way to keep cell tower radiation from penetrating your home is to create a highly conductive enclosure around your home. You’ll actually have to live in a “bubble,” so to speak. For example, you could get window coverings, drapes or house paints that can prevent radiation from penetrating your home. Also try to limit your time on the phone and use radiation blocking cases and shielded headsets.
