While 4G was bad enough, 5G takes the game to a whole new level of insanity.ĥG (or 5th Generation) refers to the latest advancement in wireless systems. Humans, animals and the environment have all been at risk for years. Sadly, once the concept of wireless “G” technology was initiated, we began exposing the global public to frequencies akin to microwaves at 1 billion cycles per second. We never worried whether or not our drive-time radio shows would fry our brains. When applied to video latency, this translates to speeds up to 60 to 120 times faster.īefore 2G, 3G, and 4G, radio frequencies were benign. 5G technology promises radio millimeter bands in the 30 to 300 GHz range, while 4G tops out at around 6GHz. The difference between 4G and 5G in terms of gigahertz, the unit of alternating current (AC) or electromagnetic (EM) waves that affect the transmission speeds of devices, is significant.

The cities of Brussels and Geneva have even blocked trials and banned upgrades to 5G out of this concern. With download speeds up to 20 to 30X faster than 4G, 5G promises a new world, including becoming the foundation for self-driving cars while also causing a long list of potential health risks.
