I'm a complete ignorant in the matter, so will ask here.
Did we have any research like this prior to rolling out 4G? Or is this concern about 5G simply because the frequencies involved are much higher?
- rsync 6y agoThe frequencies may be higher but I believe the power is quite a bit lower - which is the point of 5G, yes ?
- namibj 6y ago4G doesn't do anything weird compared to older mobile/cellular radio technology. 5G includes an order of magnitude higher frequencies, with far less penetration depth into humans. Thus the power is dumped into less volume. While the power levels involved seem very safe, we don't have the vast research body of cm waves.
- thu2111 6y agoBut we do have a lot of research into the effects of radio on biological cells, though. Is the assumption here that less power but higher frequency would somehow have effects on the body that have previously never been noticed and for which there is no present theoretical basis? Is this theory falsifiable in any reasonable way?
