Yeah, as far as the first links go I was aware and that's exactly the kind of thing I'm talking about. I'd love to hear from someone who has more knowledge about the engineering of the 5G towers for that reason. And you're right that there are issues with penetration the higher the frequency. Which is why it's surprising to me they'd use such extremely high frequencies. Something as simple as rain significantly affects the signal with 5G, there's a phenomenon called rain fade. Then there's the problem with indoor penetration. Without having in depth knowledge of the tech it just doesn't make sense to me from a simple physics point of view. The disadvantages seem to vastly outweigh the slightly higher bandwidth, which immediately breaks down anyway as soon as the conditions aren't ideal.
