Abstract

5G promises improved performance and efficiency at a lower cost than 4G, thus enabling the Internet of Things (IoT) to thrive. Implementing 5G requires adding base stations closer to the people because they will use higher frequencies, up to 300GHz, and will, therefore, have a shorter range. 5G will use frequencies from 600 MHz to 300 GHz, which include the millimeter-wave frequency bands − 30 GHz and 300 GHz — that were not used before [1]. Despite the advantages of 5G, concerns are still to be addressed regarding the possible health impacts of this technology. Opinions and research outcomes on this topic diverge across the scientist community, government agencies, and organizations.
