Today's lesson is about 5G mmWave

5G uses beamforming technology where antennas focus signals directly toward active devices rather than radiating equally in all directions

That’s why it radiates much less than existing 2G, 3G, 4G technologies in all directions

but..

MUCH MORE in the direction of the 5G equipped user.

What does it mean?

It means that if you do not have a 5G device in your home or your hand, there will be only minimal radiation from the 5G base station (including satellites)

It also means that, if you use a 5G device, the power density radiated in your direction from the base station will depend significantly on the amount & speed of data you require.

If you are standing with a friend & he is watching a 4K movie on a 5G smartphone.. then you both are radiated a hell of a lot more than while your friend is doing a phone call or texting.

Most people do not realize that the power density needed to stream 4K video is thousands of times higher than what’s needed for a phone call.

That’s why

1. Stay away from packed areas where everyone and their dog is glued to their 5G devices.

2. Turn off the 5G antenna on your cellphone.
