i understand the potential benefits but i see no reason why we should rush towards it

Again, you could say the same for nuclear reactors, or even street lights, light pollution, noise pollution, but seriously, I can guarantee you that standing next to your car while its running is more dangerous than standing next to a 5G mast..

lets take the car comparison for granted

if 5g is even half as dangerous as ice cars are in urban places, we should not invest in it

like fucking hell ice cars in urban places has lead to so many long term negative health affects

Again seriously, they've most likely, (definitely) tested the radiation levels from these 5G masts, science and technology needs to move forward, like hauling ass forward, if our kids have any hope of survival on this planet

can you link these tests?

Multiple countries are not investing in 5G like Israel

Yeah, cause they're busy investing in weapons of war...

and Israel is like the 3rd most technologically advanced nation after the US and China when it comes to producing electronics

5g is not like battery investment or the like

Here's just a couple straight off the bat

I've not even read these but I can guarantee you they're not doomsday bad lol

its just higher wireless connection sppeds

@NotJesus That isn't true and the guys real job is a therapist. If his name went that public it could cause a lot of issues with his clients. Not only that but harassment to him and his family. Just because you getting doxxed wouldn't do any real harm doesn't mean real harm can't happen to others. People shouldn't have to fear for their livelihoods or life because some huge media organization is threatening to dox you.

"The highest result they found for the 5G band was 0.039% of the recommended exposure limit."

bro, the sources are from BBC and Ispreview compared to jsis.washington.edu ...

and this is just talking about exposure limits rather than band frequency...

I don't really see a difference, you can't be biased with tech, you need to read everything, draw your own conclusions

Bob could be saying pigeons are ticking time bombs while Alice could be saying pigeons are gonna save the planet..

the difference is between an academic source and a state run news site

Band frequency should matter, they wouldn't put public microwave emitters in places they would harm people.. that's why they're on top of skyscrapers.. aimed at dishes

Now don't get me wrong, standing infront of one would fry you inside out..

@NotJesus no wtf

like i said theyre being placed where we usually place street trees

the higher frequency that they operate at requires closer proximity, especially to provide connection to indoors

seriously man, they're placed at a height, much taller than your average human, am I right in believing?

theyre placed right at height level for a second story floor

So second story, I could guarantee you, that even a microwave emitter... from an actual microwave, placed at that height, aimed directly at you, would take a very long time to cook you

sure, some are placed at greater heights, but many are just 5 meters in the air

Even if you were standing right underneath it, then I'd say that's absolutely fine

not really, if it has the connectivity to pierce buildings, it can pierce the air

Common Radio Bands for Wi-Fi and Mobile

Wi-Fi = 2.4GHz, 5GHz, 6GHz

Mobile (2G – 5G) = 700MHz, 800MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 2.1GHz, 2.3 GHz, 2.6GHz, 3-4GHz

NOTE: 5G mostly uses the same bands as existing UK mobile networks above, although in the future it may harness 24-26GHz or higher (aka – millimeter Waves [mmW]).

no one is complaining that theyll fry you alive here

Actually, these waves we're talking about, they don't actually "pierce" buildings, they travel round physical obstacles.. just like a human would have to to reach point A to point B

my computer systems architecture lecturer was also very into his radio and this is what he says

no, theyre capable of piercing objects and not simply just bouncing off or objects

Very thin objects at that, I agree, thin sheet of paper, or even a pane or glass, sure, but the energy in that wave would be greatly reduced

every frequency can do this to an extent, 5g operates at 25-39 GHz if i remember correctly

they can travel through triple glazed windows

yes, ofc

no one is complaining about boiling blood
