How long until 7G? I can’t keep up with this stuff.
Frequencies that high have a difficult time penetrating metal, concrete, wood, buildings, windows, thick clothing, foliage, rain, snow, dense fog, etc... Not really much to worry about.
The 5G on the phones is so good, I can’t even tell when they throttle it, although I seldom stream away from home so it’s not a good test.
We stay with 4G. A friend was involved with 5G during development. Very, very bad.
Cellular (5g) frequencies slot in between broadcast TV stations and the Internet WiFi in your house, coffee shop, hotel, etc.. And compared to broadcast TV the signal strength of a single cell site is much, MUCH lower. UHF TV is up to 5 megawatts at 591 megahertz. A 5g single cell runs at anywhere from 10 watts to about 100 watts (200 watts max.) depending on location and tower density with the whole cell site/tower putting out about 1500 watts in the 700MHz to 1.9GHz freq. range. (Mostly Verizon) uses “mmWave” frequencies (28GHz & 39GHz) in certain urban & congested (user) areas with “micro cells” at power levels of about 20 watts. If there is any “RF danger” it will be in these “mmWave” frequencies that approach radar frequencies...it is the transmit power level that matters most. (Mobile phones transmit at about 2 watts...use the speakerphone to reduce RF near your head if concerned).
“C-Band” (3.7–3.98 GHz) is the next cellular company “frequency grab”...frequencies usually used by satellite operators.

If I work out and sweat will I get better reception?
I want to know if this means I can use less deodorant or will I need more?
I work the sidelines for 5G deployment and engineering for Qualcomm and Nokia.
None of this conspiracy is true. If anyone has questions, feel free to Freepmail me.
5G has deployment issues, and we would all be better off with simpler comms but 5G is a natural progression to get the “cities of the future” off the ground, and have been doing exactly that for almost 6 years.
5G doesn’t add any frequencies you are not already exposed to. It is the nerds of society that want to sound technically experienced making these ignorant claims.
We shouldn’t have stopped beating up nerds in school.
” It is the nerds of society that want to sound technically experienced making these ignorant claims.”
I think it is the beaters.......................
If that were the case then the nerds wouldn’t be posting such ignorant nonsense as they do about 5G.
Those aren’t the nerds.................wannabes.......
