The Problems
with 5G TECHNOLOGY
(Org.
2020, Revised Dec. 2022)
There are some potential problems with the 5th
generation of wireless communications, commonly known as 5G.
HEALTH CONCERNS
Some of the frequencies being allocated (auction) by the FCC for
5G usage are in the EHF (Extremely
High Frequency) range. Some Eastern European
countries have being using this frequency range for medical
applications. They call it millimeter wave (MMW) therapy or
extremely high frequency (EHF) therapy. A brief,
low-intensity MMW exposure can change cell growth and proliferation rates, activity of enzymes,
state of cell genetic apparatus, function of excitable membranes
and peripheral receptors.
Some European countries and cities are delaying, suspending, or
stopping the deployment of 5G because of health concerns.
Electromagnetic radiation can cause cancer. However, the
damage to RNA and DNA is proportional to the frequency and
magnitude of the radiation. The closer to the area
transmitters, the greater the danger. The 5G microwave radiation
will penetrate our homes and cars. And we will be putting a
transmitter of microwave radiation (in the EHF frequency range)
in our smart phones that we usually carry with us, and some
times place it close to our brains.
ESPIONAGE AND SECURITY CONCERNS:
United States, Australia and the United Kingdom
are restricting or eliminating the use of Chinese 5G equipment
because of national security reasons. The "European Agency for
Cybersecurity" and some American intelligence agencies know that
the Chinese equipment will enable the Chinese, if they desire,
to monitor all data flowing thru the 5G network.
In the contemporary American Governmental
System, big corporation heavily influence the government.
However, in the Chinese Totalitarian Dictatorship, the
government can control the corporations (such as Huawei (maker
of 5G equipment)), for whatever purpose they desire.
Also, the higher speed of 5G will make Denial Of Service
attacks, cryptojacking & other Cyber-attacks more
effective, and probably more frequent.
5G, probably, has new
enhancement to the Lawful
Interception technology used in telecommunications.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE
Part of the 5G spectrum is very close to the passive remote
sensing used by weather and earth
observation satellites. It can potentially degrade
weather prediction by as much as 30%.
NEW RAT
There is also a new technology called 5G NR (New Radio)
. It is basically a RAT
(Radio Access Technology).
Familiar examples of RATs are WI-FI and Bluetooth .
Most smart phones incorporate support for a few RATs.
Things are getting so ridiculous that they actually have a
5G
Automotive Association.
This is NOT going to be like going from 3G to 4G.
I am almost sure that with 5G, your car manufacturer, or
your car dealer, or your car's insurance company, will have access
to the data in your car's computer. And hackers will probably have
access to some of your car functions.
In my opinion, one of the
problems, is that the FCC is
heavily influenced (or may be corrupted) by big corporations.
Frequency Bandwith allocations are auctioned by the FCC,
to the highest bidder.
I am in favor of fiber optics, where ever and when ever
possible. It's more secure and healthier than microwave, thru
the air, transmissions.
Kitchen microwave ovens use 2.45 GHz. That is between UHF and SHF, and bellow
the EHF that will be part of the 5G spectrum.
