5G Explained

The 5G that everyone fears is in the high, millimeter Wave (mmWave) band (above 20 GHz) and it is beam-formed. That type of 5G is only being deployed on certain streets in downtowns and surrounding residential neighborhoods in select cities. It is also being deployed in sports stadiums, arenas, airports, college campuses, metro stops and other places where large numbers of people congregate. 

 That mmWave 5G signal is on-demand, meaning it is only transmitted when a smart phone enabled with 5G for mmWave service asks for a connection. The mmWave 5G cell signal sent out by that antenna is only 10 degrees or so wide. If you live next door to a house where that 5G-enabled phone is calling for service and you don’t have one of those 5G-enabled phones yourself, that signal to your neighbor’s 5G-enabled phone will not come into your house…

 The bulk of 5G service in the US is being broadcast in the low and mid bands (600 MHz to 6 GHz) from 5G small cell radios and antennas. These are being placed at existing 4G LTE macro cell sites, which are located roughly 1-1.5 miles apart, and in residential neighborhoods as stand alone small cell antennas across the country. T-Mobile and AT&T have 5G holdings in the low band and are in the process of installing low band 5G radios and transmitters, which do not send out beam-formed signals (but are highly modulated—see below) over large areas…

Existing 3G and 4G macro cell antennas transmit cell signals at up to 1,000 Watts. These macro cell antennas spray always-on RF signals out into a neighborhood in a cone that is roughly 120 degrees wide and high, stretching for miles. This is what we have had for a couple of decades. This 4G network is the foundation of 5G and will remain in place. New 4G macro antennas are being installed, and 5G antennas are being placed on existing 4G cell tower arrays. Existing 4G equipment at macro cell sites is also being upgraded.

 Many more new small cell antennas are also being installed between macro cell sites on residential streets. These new 4G LTE-Advanced and 5G small cell radios and antennas broadcasting in the low and mid bands likewise send out RF signals that are always-on with a 120 degree-wide signal that passes deep into nearby houses and apartments.

 These 4G and low and mid band 5G radios and antennas transmit signals that are lower power… but they are much closer to people’s homes. As a result, we are now measuring higher RF levels in homes, especially in second story bedrooms…from these new antennas.

The real danger is that these 4G LTE-Advanced and low and mid band 5G cell signals are far more modulated than 3G and 4G signals were in the past. That means, more data is being sent into the same airspace at the same power density and frequency but at faster download speeds. 5G signals in the mmWave are also highly modulated. This modulation of 4G LTE-Advanced and 5G cell signals at all frequencies makes them more biologically active and potentially harmful for all biological life, not just humans.

Additionally your cell phone and the myriad wireless devices in your home and personal space emit RF signals close to you and your family that are also highly modulated…these signals are just as harmful to us as 4G and 5G cell signals coming in from outside, because they are now more modulated than in the past. WiFi is a heavily modulated signal, and therefore particularly harmful on a cellular level. (Modulation: pulsed vs analog signals: “5G IS DESIGNED TO BE EXTRAORDINARILY HIGHLY PULSED AND IS PREDICTED, THEREFORE TO BE EXTRAORDINARILY BIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE AND VASTLY MORE DANGEROUS” (Dr. Martin Pall).

Pay attention to wireless devices in your homes, offices, and schools at the same time as you organize to oppose small cell antennas in your neighborhood.

Remember three strategies regarding the use of wireless devices: reduce use, increase distance, and favor hardwired connections whenever and wherever possible, such as when you are home…
