What Should You Know About Your Exposure To 5G Radiations ?

This post briefly introduces the basic information on 5G exposure based on elements I observed in the terrain. For that purpose, it would be useful to have a brief overview on the technology itself.

What is it ? 5G or 5G NR is the 5th generation of cellular technologies, NR stands for New Radio. It is the successor to 4G. These are its main benefits :

  • High data rate: at least 10 times faster than 4G;
  • Low latency time: it can be seen as the time required by the cellular network to execute your command;
  • High potential of connectivity: more objects than ever can be simultaneously connected.

These aspects are crucial to sustain the new generation of mobile games and virtual realities in addition to supporting various technological breakthroughs regarding, for instance, self-driving cars and telemedicine. Also, those advantages are likely to fit new behaviours in terms of data consumption.

How does it work? The 5G panel antenna covers the space of 120° ahead. This area is divided into several sub-areas; in each one, the antenna works according to an ON/OFF regime.

Unlike antennas of the previous technologies (2G, 3G and 4G) which generate permanently ± the same electromagnetic field in the whole 120° ahead, the 5G antenna activates only the sub-area where the user is located by emitting a beam within. In the absence of any user, there is no beam; therefore, no field.

The ON/OFF regime is energy saving and may reduce the average public exposure indoors, especially, in less densely populated areas.

What about public exposure ? In most countries, 5G occupies the 3500 MHz frequency band in addition to the 26000 MHz band in a few regions of the World. The radiations of these bands (in particular 26000MHz) are largely less penetrating than those of the classical technologies. Furthermore, the 26000 MHz signals (millimetre waves) are unlikely to reach the brain.

Note that some (European) countries are also about attributing a narrow part of 700MHz to 5G signals. Excepting this narrow band, all 5G signals are of higher frequencies in comparison to 2G, 3G and 4G.

The higher the frequency, the less penetrating the radiations. For this reason, cellular operators would multiply micro 5G antennas along streets and bus stations in order to “revive” the signal; the kind of repeaters.

This would increase the average radiation level outdoors. Besides, I guess that indoors exposure would be lower than that of 2G, 3G and 4G.

This analysis should be interpreted with caution given the lack of in situ studies relative to 5G exposure.

That being said, I believe that exposure to any electromagnetic field should be reduced as far as practicable. In the coming posts, I would shed more light on the consumer behaviours which is not without importance for our subject.
