5g base station is not as good as communication

Are 5G base stations bad for health?

Abstract: The Fifth Generation (5G) communication technology will deliver faster data speeds and support numerous new applications such as virtual and augmented reality. The additional need for a larger number of 5G base stations has sparked widespread public concerns about their possible negative health impacts.

Why is a 5G network a challenge?

5G networks deployment poses new challenges when evaluating human exposure to electromagnetic fields. Fast variation of the user load and beamforming techniques may cause large fluctuations of 5G base stations field level. They may be underestimated, resulting in compliance of base stations not fitting the requirements.

Does 5G signal exposure affect base station compliance?

This agrees with measurements done in other countries whose authors conclude that the exposure to 5G signals is limited , , , but this does not assure the base station compliance as full load situation should be considered for such assessment. It also shows that the increase in the EMF field is due to the induced data traffic.

Does a 5G base station increase field levels?

Adding the 5G systems does not significantly increase the overall field levels in the surroundings of the base station, in normal working conditions, compared to those of the previous generation. This has been checked during a measurement campaign in the surroundings of a 5G base station under operation.
