You are actually right.....but the issue is that 5g doesnt travel distance well and particularly not thru walls very well. So, those safe frequencies that you mention needs to be amplified and you need a LOT more towers and repeaters to extract the real value of 5g.
- yokaze 7y agoThat's why TV frequencies got freed up (600MHz), and are also used in 5G: they travel great though walls. And one or two stations serviced a city. The FR1 range is nothing new. Yes, FR2 ranges (aka mmwave) has more potential for higher speeds partly _because_ it doesn't travel through walls, you need practically line of sight. (Spatial multiplexing). And you cannot simply amp up the power, to get through it as reflections will drown you. Different use-cases, different frequencies. And those frequencies are still non-ionising, and at most heat your skin. So why the qualifier of "safe" for frequencies? We are talking radio here, not UV, x-ray or gamma.
