5G. Everything you Need to Know

5G is a large scale leap, a new paradigm, a revolution. Everything from the washing machine to baby diapers will be connected to the Internet, and everyone on the planet will have instant access to each other and to everything. Each one of our interactions will remain as an indelible mark. But for this to happen, a new infrastructure with a much denser network is required. 5G uses high-frequency millimeter-waves that allow a huge amount of data to be processed with minimal latency, but since these waves are shorter, and have a shorter reach and many more antennas are needed compared to the previous technology. Even though the COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the process, it is estimated that millions of new 5G base stations on Earth and over 200.000 new space satellites will connect with 200 billion objects that will be part of the Internet of Things in the beginning. According to 5G International Appeal: "No person, no animal, no insect and no plant on Earth will be able to avoid exposure, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, to new levels of radiofrequency radiation ". If this is detrimental to health? Now you can draw your own conclusions.
