- rgrieselhuber 7y agoWhat are your thoughts on the safety concerns?
- apcragg 7y agoNot my area of expertise. The main study I'm aware of showing some harmful affects uses an unrealistic amount of power and curiously only showed effects for male mice. I'm hesitant to dismiss it, because effects from heating caused by non-ionizing radiation are well documented but that amount of power is just not present in cellular systems whether that's LTE or 5G NR.
- rgrieselhuber 7y agoI worry in particular about the towers being in close proximity to schools and housing developments.
- xxpor 7y agoDo you own a microwave oven?
- rgrieselhuber 7y agoNo
- Spooky23 7y agoMore appropriately, do you operate a high frequency radar gun?
- enjo 7y agoIt really is the 1980’a again...
- CamperBob2 7y agoWhy don't you demand actual reproducible evidence before worrying? Nonionizing radiation has not been shown to be harmful, but self-inflicted psychological stress certainly has.
- Zancarius 7y ago> only showed effects for male mice. Interestingly, it might not be the experiment but rather the experimenters themselves. When this study came out, I mentioned it to my girlfriend at the time (a veterinarian), and she pointed to research [1] that suggests a correlation between the presence of male researchers and stress in mice. It's plausible that if male researchers were present, the increased stress response could contribute to greater susceptibility to certain cancers (it was only the male mice in the 5G study that were affected). I have no idea how the study was done or the genders of the researchers who participated, but it's worth considering that other variables may be at play. Perhaps it should be replicated under an all-female research environment if it wasn't originally.

- sroussey 7y agoWorry about your blender. Seriously. Big electric motor.
- petra 7y agoDeploying 5G mm-wave "everywhere" seem like a huge expense. How will telecomm's justify that ? what do you see as the big use cases ?
