Anyone been reading about the upcoming 5G and the problems it can have on you. Or do I have on my tinfoil hat again?
 
Ive been reading some serious craziness on FB Q group....some of them people are nuts.

I've had 5g wireless routing in my home for awhile and I'm okay...except for this twitch and jerkiness.

I have constant ringing in my ears but I don't think it's 5g....more like the tinnitus.

been off Facebook for a few months now. Love it. Less drama. I still get stuff sent to me. Mostly with a grain of salt. But I am sure there are still some concerns out there about it.
 
AC current was gonna kill everyone,
CERN was going to implode the world,
Switching from paper to plastic was gonna save the rainforest,
Nuclear Powerplants was going to make everybody sterile and grow a third arm,

Don't forget how Chem Trails made the freaking frogs gay!
 
They told us the Large Hadron Collider at CERN was going to create a temporal anomaly or cause a black hole to open.

Years of shooting without hearing protection as a youngster?

Rode firetrucks when sirens and air horns (the good ones back in the day) where mountednon the roofs. No air conditioning in the trucks back then....thus....tinnitus. Ringing like crazy this week.
 
Itā€™s amazing how dangerous some folks think such a weak wavelength is. 5g is odd. Itā€™s a really weak signal that can carry tons of info for short distances. It does not do well through walls or over distance. Standard cell is a much stronger signal. Microwave ovens are probably more dangerous.

The issue I have is how firmly China is in control of the hardware. Oh, and most of the 5g folks are seeing on cell is not legit 5g yet.

I had someone send me a link connecting Coronavirus to 5g. I was like wow really. Thatā€™s funny. One article I was reading was saying it is stronger to reach inside buildings and such because original mobile phones were just that mobile. Out and about.

Me too on the tinnitus going crazy this week. Whuts up with that?

I hope 5G doesnt kill us because according to my techno bud down in Flo Rida it will be a game changer if it ever rolls out with the all the promises intact. Wireless voice, data and video from a street pedestal to a modem in the home. No more creepy cable guys in the house.
 
I remember when cell phones were 3 watts, and we seem to have survived that, so I donā€™t think weā€™ll have an issue with 5g.

I believe that ATT 5Ge is something like VZ 4GLTE. ATT really wanted to turn that signal on in your phone, but it doesnā€™t do very much, if anything, for performance in my experience.

5g is pretty much spectrum agnostic, we run it in 3.5GHz thatā€™s good for a few miles (think 50 meg download speeds) but folks run it in 600MHz for tens of miles (think 3-25 meg download speeds) and others are way up at 28GHz which is good for maybe 100ā€™ (think near gigabit speeds at least in the lab).
 
One article I was reading is saying it good for about 500 meters so more towers. Where as the 4 g can run for miles. Another article added that even with 5 g it will be a long ways away and they will still be running 4g along side of it.

going down I85. Itā€™s funny looking up and seeing really tall ā€œpine treesā€. At least they are trying to conceal them somewhat.
 
There's parts of moore county that still have no cell signal at all to this day. With all the 5g talk, when can we realistically see it in rural areas?

Mine as well. I kind of just assumed it was because I was riding with my truck windows down a little more since itā€™s getting warmer.

How hydrated have you been lately? There is a theory that tinnitus gets louder when you are dehydrated. I don't know if it's true or not, but mine does seem worse the day after a long night of beer drinking...

With people staying home to hide from Covid, alcohol consumption has increased nationally. I know I've been drinking a few more beers than usual over the last two weeks.

Could be, Iā€™m still working, Iā€™ve been working alone the past two weeks with no helper. Sadly itā€™s been so long since Iā€™ve had a beer Iā€™ve kind of forgotten what it tastes like LOL

heck I can barely get service in my house without dropping calls.

Generally speaking the spectrum determines distance and relative capacity. 5g is more efficient than 4g so more capacity in each category, but in general lower frequencies travel further, penetrate foliage and buildings, but have less capacity. You can only improve the overall capacity so much in this spectrum because one broadcast site affects the other broadcast sites for miles around, so you canā€™t just squeeze more in. The mid band spectrum is the bomb for suburban areas, it travels a few miles, and does a reasonable job penetrating buildings and has good capacity. The high band is the ticket for the cities, it travels only very short distances and in some cases will not penetrate a single building (good when you want to build inside and keep it there) but it has crazy capacity. Thatā€™s a very simplified view of course.

So the issue isnā€™t really 5g vs older tech, itā€™s the availability of additional spectrum.

To the lay person none of this matters, itā€™s just kinda magical that we can get porn out of thin air.

Not for a long time. They are talking like it will take an antenna on nearly every block in urban areas and possibly one's in buildings. But they will be more like boxes mounted to poles. Not what we currently think of. So they would have to put lots of antennas along the main hard lines. Or increase the coverage area of the signal. Or stick with 4g for rural areas. At least that's my layman's understanding of it.
