5G

Get it into your head? May 11th, 2020

2G, or not 2G. Is it nobler in the mind to suffer 5G? A 'sea of troubles'?

Not exactly Shakespeare, but who cares? The original quote: "To be, or not to be, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer. The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, Or to take arms against a sea of troubles. And by opposing end them."

While I have spoken of viruses, vaccines and GMOs, there is another environmental hazard that can impact upon our DNA. That is the dangers of cellphone technology.

The risks have been there a very long time. But how many people really paid attention to those little bits of paper that came with their shiny new toy - a piece of paper that gave salutary warnings about the misuse of the cellphone they have just acquired? Not many, I would suggest. I actually recall being in Great Malvern many years ago for a meeting on the subject of Chronic Fatigue. I arrived early and waited in the reception area of the building that the meeting was being held in. A young woman had in her hand a small box containing a new cellphone. Eagerly, she removed the cellphone from it's wrapping and began to play around with it. It wasn't her first cellphone. I knew this because I struck up a very short conversation with her before she became preoccupied with the new device. I asked her if she was going to read the piece of paper that came with it. I tried to warn her she should read it before using the cellphone and read about exposure time limits for radiation. She indicated she wasn't interested. The new toy was more important to play around with.

I'm finding this is the attitude to this day. The obsessive nature of many cellphone owners is such that they are hooked on their gadgets. They cannot even cross the road without looking because their gaze is focussed upon whatever appears on that tiny screen right under their noses. I've been in a few vehicles where they have had to brake suddenly because of such people stepping out onto the road. And why? It's because they are so distracted. And then there are those who walk around like zombies in the street not looking where they tread, or who they may bump into.

It is this sickness, this obsessive compulsive behaviour of some that is disturbing. These are the sort of people who are never open to reason. Try to talk to them, and as soon as their cellphone rings, they ignore you and wander off into their own little freakish world.

Cellphone retailers know that many are hooked on their devices. They are the technological version of drug dealers. They know their victims crave the next upgrade, and are hooked on the technology. It is going to be so simple to eventually persuade these types of people to take the ultimate upgrade - a chip implanted in their head. I'm getting a little ahead of myself. Let's look at the evolution of cellphone technology and see where it may end up.

2G through 5G. And after 5G?

Introduction. My first memory of cellphone technology, and I use the term loosely, is of a business I observed many years ago. He had one of the very first clumsy-looking devices. It was a piece of technology that was somewhere, in size, in the region of between a house brick and a shoebox. It was so big, it was probably advisable to use a briefcase to carry it around.

The first cellphone story

It's quite funny thinking of those days. This was in the early 1980s that these cellphones were first commercially released. But it was a full ten years after they were first designed in the US.

In a little over thirty years, the technology has come on in leaps and bounds. The first phones were analogue. Cumbersome, expensive, and took many hours to charge. Today, a complete change in every aspect. To learn more about the history of cellphone development, I'd recommend you visit this website: cellphone history - up to 2008

Understanding wavelengths

Before I begin to discuss 2G through 5G, let's look at wavelengths in general. I begin with light.

What effect can different wavelengths of light have upon the human body? The one I wish to draw your attention to is the blue wavelength. This may seem run-of-the-mill in the sense it is similar to other light frequencies, but it is not. I know all too well from a distressing condition called 'Computer Vision Syndrome' ("CVS") that the blue light frequency is potentially very harmful. It is because of this frequency that I suffered months of distressing Vertigo-type symptoms. The cure, which I had to find for myself, was to have a blue light filter applied to my reading spectacles (which I use when on a computer). Before I continue, look at these images:

"Blue light exposure may increase the risk of macular degeneration. The fact that blue light penetrates all the way to the retina (the inner lining of the back of the eye) is important, because laboratory studies have shown that too much exposure to blue light can damage light-sensitive cells in the retina."

2G to 4G

2G is the 'child' of 1G. But as 1G used analogue technology, 2G was the 'Brave New World' of digital technology. 1G is now outdated. It has no place in the future of advanced communication technology.

The new digital version of mobile communications arrived early in the 1990s. There is plenty of information which can be obtained via other websites regarding the evolution of cellphone technology, but as I have already said, we need to be focussed upon the effects of such technology upon the environment.

Here is a quote from Quora: "2G and 3G have had fixed frequencies, but 4G doesn't follow such rules. 2G is usually run on 900Mhz or 1800Mhz worldwide, except America where 2G is on 800Mhz/850Mhz/1900Mhz. 3G is usually run on 900Mhz or 2100 Mhz, again, except America where 3G is on 850Mhz/1700Mhz/1900Mhz.".

Let's look at the spectrum between the frequencies of 800Mhz and 2100Mhz. This encompasses all 2G frequencies worldwide, and also takes in 3G as well (including the USA).

Frequency Spectrum

You will see from the image above that 2G and 3G frequencies fit well within the 'permeable zone'. This has both advantages and disadvantages. Just by themselves, these 'native' frequencies can serve many purposes, but they are not sufficient for more advanced technology in their purest form. However! These frequencies can be used to carry 5G signals over longer distances for the provision of 5G signals, using modulation. Essentially, the existing frequencies for systems below 5G will act as carriers. Here's an example ...

Verizon published on the 18th November, 2019, the following statement: "Recently deployed, Verizon’s 5G UWB network uses 28 and 39 GHz mmWave spectrum bands having 40x bandwidth of 4G LTE 700MHz network. This will aid the network in latency, speed and capacity, as a higher number of devices will be able to operate on that high-band frequency spectrum. To give you an idea, 4G latency is around 20-30 milliseconds, which means it takes that amount of time for information to travel between origin and receiver. 5G latency, though, is expected to someday reach below 10 milliseconds. Verizon will also deploy 5G technology on lower frequency bands including 700 MHz-2500 MHz frequency range to cover wide area. This means devices that are further away from the antennae should be able to access the network." Reference: What frequency is 5G?

So, essentially, 5G will fit in and around existing frequencies for 2G through 4G. But I will address 5G, and modulation, in more detail later.

The bottom line for 2G is that, along with 3,4 and 5G, the frequencies we are exposed to could have very subtle effects upon our bodies. This is because if a simple blue light wavelength being radiated from a simple visual display unit can damage eyesight, what can other wavelengths do to us? The answer is in the level of radiation we are exposed to. There has to be a higher-than-normal exposure to radiation to cause visible harmful effects. What subtle effects we are experiencing without any visible sign of deterioration is another subject altogether.

4G. This technology surpassed what 2 and 3G could offer. To continue the quote from Quora I gave earlier: "4G/LTE has a lot more frequencies." Namely:

• 600Mhz
• 700Mhz
• 800/850Mhz
• 900Mhz
• 1700Mhz
• 1800Mhz
• 1900Mhz
• 2100Mhz
• 2300Mhz
• 2500Mhz
• 2600Mhz

"As you can see, 4G has the capability of offering better coverage due to the better propagation of 600/700Mhz. 4G/LTE has a lot more frequencies."

So while 4G is more useful than 2 and 3G, it occupies a similar space on the frequency spectrum. Ergo, anything you may find wrong with 2 or 3G, will similarly apply to 4G.

5G

Up to 300 GHz? Seriously? And with such a short range of effectiveness, how much power is being put out at short range? Before I continue, please look at this website:

Physicians for Safe Technology

We are now in the region where such technology can and is being used for 'crowd control'. There exists something known as an 'Active Denial System' ("ADS").

"The ADS works by firing a high-powered (100 kW output power) beam of 95 GHz waves at a target, which corresponds to a wavelength of 3.2 mm." - Wikipedia: Active Denial System

"Similar to the microwaves in your microwave oven" ... "essentially affecting the pain nerves in the outermost layer of skin" ... "like opening a hot oven door" Video of ADS

Hmm. A 100 kW? "Antenna transmission power is anywhere between 250mW (expressed as 24 dBm) for a Small Cell, and 120W for the largest 5G MIMO arrays (which is 50 dBm). A typical 2G, 3G, or 4G antenna has got a transmission power of 20W (43 dBm)." [1]; "According to Huawei data on RRU/BBU needs per site, the typical 5G site has power needs of over 11.5 kilowatts, up nearly 70% from a base station deploying a mix of 2G, 3G and 4G radios." [2]

[1] Is this anything to worry about? 5G health issues explained

[2] 5G base stations use a lot more energy than 4G base stations: MTN

Certainly, 100 kW is substantially more than 11.5 kW. But what about proximity? The people who volunteered to be tested against the ADS were some distance away. But how close will a 5G antenna be away from your home? Right outside your child's bedroom (as it has been suggested elsewhere)?

"Millimeter waves are mostly absorbed within a few millimeters of human skin and in the surface layers of the cornea. Short-term exposure can have adverse physiological effects in the peripheral nervous system, the immune system and the cardiovascular system. The research suggests that long-term exposure may pose health risks to the skin (e.g., melanoma), the eyes (e.g., ocular melanoma) and the testes (e.g., sterility)." and "5G will not replace 4G; it will accompany 4G for the near future and possibly over the long term. If there are synergistic effects from simultaneous exposures to multiple types of RFR, our overall risk of harm from RFR may increase substantially. Cancer is not the only risk as there is considerable evidence that RFR causes neurological disorders and reproductive harm, likely due to oxidative stress." - Scientific American Blog: We Have No Reason to Believe 5G Is Safe

From a PDF document on the dangers to construction workers:

"While there is uncertainty about the long-term health effects of exposure to RF, there is consensus around the thermal effects. Thermal effects occur when the body cannot deal with the heat buildup caused by the RF radiation quickly enough. This buildup is dependent on the frequency and intensity of the RF radiation fields as well as the length of time the worker is exposed and how close he or she is working from the source. Symptoms of overexposures include, but are not limited to:

• Labored breathing
• Perspiring – immediate sensation of intense heating of the parts of the body exposed
• Pain
• Headache
• Numbness
• Paresthesia – a tingling or numbness, skin crawling, or itching
• Malaise or an overall sense of feeling mentally or physically unwell
• Diarrhea
• Skin erythema – a reddening of the skin due to inflammation

In addition to these symptoms, workers who come in direct contact with an antenna may suffer severe burns since active RF antennas are energized (or hot). The resulting burns can be deep and may be worse than they appear. Any construction worker experiencing these symptoms should move to a new location immediately, and if the symptoms persist, see a doctor."
