4G/5G Wireless Infrastructure
resources

 New higher 5G frequencies appear to pose great risks to insects (e.g. fry antennae, burn up due to resonance), our skin (ex. melanoma), Schumann Resonance (best known for generating circadian rhythms), & potential fracturing of molecules (through resonance). Scientists have raised concerns over prior generations of wireless, but millimeter frequencies add new worries.

Whether 4G or high 5G, small cell sites cause much higher power exposures due to proximity & placement every 1/3rd mile or less on utility/other poles. Small cells pose a fire hazard too. Over 600 exist in Boston, and may already exist in your town. The FCC has canned environmental and historic review of "small" cells, besides local control, thus unleashing a slew of lawsuits.

Not least, 5G satellite deployment is reckoned to be polluting, damaging to the ionosphere, and leave no place left to hide. Deployments planned are on a scale never before seen.

Fake 5G:
Note that several telecoms are claiming to use 5G, even using a 5G icon, but are not yet using 5G frequencies.
  • iPhone "5G E" icon is not 5G
  • 5G Evolution, or 5G E does not use millimeter or high 5G frequencies
Known 5G Trials:
  • Brockton & Natick, MA
  • South Bend, IN; Kalamazoo, MI; Austin, TX; Waco, TX (AT&T)
  • Starry begins tests in 2016 with 38 GHz and in 2018 expands to anyone receiving a housing subsidy such as via Related Company in NY, Chicago, CA...
  • AirGig Georgia Power trials used both 5G mm waves & LTE fixed wireless starting end 2017 [AirGig uses powerlines to transmit]
  • Sacramento, CA; Los Angeles, CA; Houston, TX; Indianapolis, IN (Verizon)
  • USA 5G Deployments
Satellite Deployments:
  • Satellite competition to provide 5G
  • Difficulties in business model providing 5G from space (and use of frequencies from 12 to 75 Ghz)
  • FCC Approves 37.5 to 42 GHz and 47.2 to 51.4 GHz for use by 7K+ Satellites
  • Space junk threatens satellites and Earth
Identify Frequencies:
  • Emailed advice from Eric Windheim in CA: To find out what frequencies (ƒ) are being transmitted make a public record act request to the city for the RF Compliance Report related to that transmitter.  Check poles for sticker number, or cite location.
5G Development:
  • AirGig and Using Power Lines for 5G
  • T-Mobile using 600 MHz, 28 GHz, & 39 GHz
FCC Auctions of Spectrum:
  • 14 November 2018 the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) auctioned millimeter wave spectrum (24 GHz, 25 GHz, 28 GHz) for 5G
  • New spectrum: 27.5-28.35, 37-40, & 64-71 GHz
4G/5G Connections:
  • Comcast & Charter Communications Have Backbone Cable/FiOs Needed for 5G
  • Unlicensed 5GHz band used by Telcos, who plan to use Citizen's Broadband 3.5 GHz soon
  • Could Vermont Become the First State With Universal Broadband? [Discusses fiber monopoly alternative, but includes intent of use for "smart" cities]
  • Comcast Eyes 'Scale Deployments' of Remote PHY in 2018 (DAS antennas, very much like small cells)
Warning Signs:
  • RadHaz (Company that appears to provide warning signs for telecommunication & utility companies)
  • "Danger, do not stand near tower - wireless radiation is harmful." (Print as sticker or sign)
