5G Wireless Service Is Coming, And So Are Health Concerns Over The Towers That Support It
See BS noose ^ | May 29, 2018

Posted on 05/29/2018 10:40:53 AM PDT by upchuck

The wireless industry is in a race to roll out 5G service. The network is supposed to be up to 100 times faster than current data speeds, but it requires cellphone tower equipment to be closer to users than before. Wireless companies in the U.S. say they’ll have to install about 300,000 new antennas – roughly equal to the total number of cell towers built over the past three decades. That’s causing outrage and alarm in some neighborhoods, as antennas go up around homes.

And a credentialed health expert in the long term effects of EMF...

Dozens of studies indicate 5G is a significant health risk:

I don’t need faster. How about just give me reliable service instead of my phone constantly losing signal. I have an old flip phone. Are new smart phones any better for reliability? Is that why my phone is constantly losing signal, or is this just a given for all phones, including the latest once?

Why would they need new towers?

Wouldn’t they just put new antennas on the existing towers?

Most people don’t realize how close they are to small cells already.

They are literally everywhere and you likely are within 25 yards of one at every point of your day if you live in the city or urbanized area.

Anyone who thinks they can avoid it is crazy.

Where I live, I probably won’t have to worry about it for at least 20 years. I’m just lucky FR supports the telegraph. Those smoke signals were real low bandwidth.

Losing service is a result of an overworked network. Practically everyone uses data technology on their phones now, where 10 years ago, most people just relied on voice or text. the network is clogged up, especially for suburban areas where towers are necessary and supply is short.

This article is discussing new small cell towers. These are much different than steel towers. Small cell towers are typically on roof tops, on street posts, or can be as small as a broom. they only have the ability to hold 1 or 2 customer antennas at a time and used for penetration of frequency more than range.

A guy down the road from us got upset he didn’t have any coverage so rented out his land for every tower under the sun. Guess he’ll put up another one now. Bet he can’t walk out in his backyard without getting an instant tan.

RB, as an expert electronic technician who worked in gov’t communication closets, you should have the final word on 5G microwave spectrum EMF health concerns for the rest of us.
Unless people would like to hear what HUNDREDS credentialed RF & health sciences scientists say about the need for more study in light of the 29 studies that indicate considerable health threat to the populace having high power 5G microwave spectrum transcievers mounted on lightposts just outside their homes...

Cancer is a $3 billion industry. Doctors, oncologists and the polticians bought by the oncology industry are rolling in the dough. So it seems feasable they would looking for ways for more people to get cancer.

Proof please. Cite clinical studies done by reputable research centers.

Also please explain why FCC Part 15 and Industry Canada RSS-GEN permit radiation at 4W EIRP on the 2.4 GHz band if it causes brain tumors.
