In relation to wireless networks (including 4G LTE) and health, the conclusion from the WHO is; “Considering the very low exposure levels and research results collected to date, there is no convincing scientific evidence that the weak RF signals from base stations and wireless networks cause adverse health effects .”
Read moreWhat is 5G and its impact on society?
“5G will be critical because it will enable unprecedented levels of connectivity, upgrading 4G networks with five key functional drivers: superfast broadband, ultra-reliable low latency communication, massive machine-type communications, high reliability/availability and efficient energy usage.”
Read moreWhat is the impact of 5G?
5G wireless technology is meant to deliver higher multi-Gbps peak data speeds, ultra low latency, more reliability, massive network capacity, increased availability, and a more uniform user experience to more users . Higher performance and improved efficiency empower new user experiences and connects new industries.
Read moreWhat are the negatives about 5G?
The main disadvantage of 5G is that it has limited global coverage and is available only in specific locations . Only cities can benefit a lot from 5G network and remote areas may not get the coverage it for some years. Moreover, the expenses for setting tower stations are high when compared to other networks.
