Is 5G: A BOON OR A BANE !!!

INTRODUCTION:

5G is generally seen as the fifth generation cellular network technology that provides broadband access. The industry association 3GPP defines any system using “5G NR” (5G New Radio) software as “5G”, a definition that came into general use by late 2018. Others may reserve the term for systems that meet the requirements of the ITU IMT-2020. 3GPP will submit their 5G NR to the ITU.It follows 2G, 3G and 4G and their respective associated technologies (such as GSM, UMTS, LTE, LTE Advanced Pro, etc.).

                                 

WHY 5G?

5G is the next evolution in mobile phone networks. … By 2024 there will be over 1.5 billion of us connected to 5G, according to Ericsson, a company that makes some of the infrastructure that will make all this possible. That journey is kicking off now with the first 5G networks.

                    

History of 5g

Huawei and DOCOMO (a Japanese mobile network) teamed up in December 2016 to conducted the world’s first 5G large-scale field trial. Using the 4.5 GHz frequency band, both companies recorded data transfer speeds of 11.29 Gbps, which is about 40 times faster than the current 4G standard.

WHAT DOES G MEANS  IN 5G?

What exactly is 5G? The “G” in 5G stands for “generation.” Wireless phone technology technically started with 1G, and in the early 1990s, and it expanded to 2G when companies first started enabling people to send text messages between two cellular devices.

                                    

5G Fast Facts

• Sprint’s 5G network is now live in four cities, and if you have LG’s new V50 ThinQ or HTC’s 5G Hub, you’ll be able to experience faster speeds in those locales now. Sprint’s network technology is different from Verizon’s, in that it prioritizes wider coverage over quicker downloads. Stay tuned to our testing in Dallas to see how the network performs.
• Samsung just released the $1,299 Galaxy S10 5G flagship on Verizon’s 5G network. The device sports a 6.7-inch display and six camera lenses, including two with depth-sensing time-of-flight sensors for improved augmented reality experiences. We tested the S10 5G on Verizon in Chicago to take advantage of 5G speeds, and while the phone occasionally cleared 1 Gbps, our average downloads were 700 Mbps. However, the phone is markedly faster than an LTE Galaxy S10. Check out our results here.
• AT&T is taking heat took heat for its 5G Evolution logo, which looks a lot like 5G, with speeds closer to 4G. T-Mobile is eyeing the second half of the year for its 5G push.
• Apple will reportedly wait until 2020 to release a 5G smartphone.

Where 5G Is Now

The 3rd Generation Partnership Project, the standards body that writes the rules for wireless connectivity, agreed in late 2017 on the first specification for 5G. The Non-Standalone Specification of 5G New Radio standard covers 600 and 700 MHz bands and the 50 GHz millimeter-wave end of the spectrum. That agreement paved the way for hardware makers to start developing handsets with 5G modems inside. But the non-standalone specification applies to 5G developed with LTE as an anchor.

In June of 2018, the standards body completed the rules for standalone 5G. Network operators are now fine-tuning their software using equipment that complies with the completed standard.

It’s important to note that 5G devices have to play nice with existing LTE networks, because in areas where 5G coverage will be spotty or nonexistent, the new radios will be optimized for available LTE connections. That’s why the non-standalone specification came down first.

Companies such as Qualcomm and Intel are working on 5G modems that will fit into phones, cars, smart-home devices and other device forms that have yet to take shape. Those radios are in the midst of testing to make sure they’re interoperable with network operators and infrastructure companies.

“We’ve done dozens of trials already,” Intel’s Topol said. “Now as we get closer to the commercial silicon, that’s where the OEM announcements [from hardware makers] will start to come in.”

For its part, Qualcomm has said that 20 operators around the world will roll out 5G in 2019, including all major US carriers. Twenty device makers have committed to using Qualcomm’s 5G components in their devices.

RUMOURS ABOUT 5G:

5G is not going to microwave your brain:

With the transition to a new networking technology, some familiar scare stories are reemerging. You might even have seen a few in the comments here. “5G will give you cancer,” “mmWave technology leads to brain tumors,” and “smartphones are microwaving our bodies,” or so the stories go.

It’s all hogwash.

Many of the persistent myths about cell tower radiation still hang over the industry from as far back as the 2G days. Many are wrongly concerned about the dangers even faster 5G technologies. Let’s examine the leading studies and some of these persistent rumors to put your mind at ease about the safety of mobile technology.

Can cellphones give me cancer?

Many studies have looked at if radio frequency electromagnetic radiation (RF EMR) can affect healthy people. A literature review in 2009, and the 2010 Interphone study both summarized the lack of findings on this topic quite well. In 2011, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared cellphones as a Class 2B carcinogen, meaning the technology may be linked to cancer. This does not instantly imply the level of exposure from commercial products is dangerous. Other Class 2B carcinogens include pickles, aloe vera leaf extract, and being a firefighter. The semantics are important here.

There have been no conclusive results indicating mobile technologies are eminently dangerous to humans, many astroturfers rely on how difficult it is to contextualize scientific results to make wild claims that go unchecked for a long time. In particular, they often cite one specific study as “proof” for their misinformation.

CONCLUSION:

5G is as general as a new invention in the field of technology and even safer.However,we must take care that”OVER USE OF ANY THING IS HARMFULL” .And so it with 5G but just calling it a destruction will not work.If we really believe that setup of 5G will lead to mass destruction in terms of mental sicknes and bla-bla then we should go to the depth and find that why it is harmful.

So,Friends waiting for your early reply that what are your views on this topic of concern.
