Only two years after the beginning of the 5G expansion, the fifth generation of mobile communications is almost nationwide available in Germany. 5G is finally sealing the shift from analogue to digital – in all areas of life. In the industry artificial intelligence (AI) is supposed to optimise the production processes further on and at home smart home systems provide more comfort. The road traffic as well is supposed to flow better due to 5G. And during long train journeys we can watch videos and films thanks to data transmission in real time without long charging times or annoying interruptions.

Despite all this comfort which 5G offers, it is still overlooked that this is accompanied by an enormously high radiation exposure – and at the same time the development of 6G is promoted rapidly.

Scientifically proved: Mobile phone radiation is harmful to our health

The radiation exposure has increased many times over solely due to the new 5G antennas. Since long we are within reach of WLAN, Bluetooth and mobile radiation all around the clock – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Thus we are literally a live wire.

The harmful health effects cannot be denied any longer. Almost 1000 international scientific studies prove the biological effects of electromagnetic radiation even far below the legal limits. It’s not about the fact that our ear is getting hot during phone calls, but that our entire organism can be damaged in the long run.

The 5G technology, however, has meanwhile reached all of us. From Samsung to the iPhone the latest smartphone models are available with 5G.

What’s the difference between 5G and 6G?

In the background the development of the 6G network is taking place in the meantime, which enables transmission data of 115 gigabit per second. Therefor frequencies in the range of 300 gigahertz ought to be used. All this is equivalent to 300 billion oscillations per second – and thereby 100 times more than with the currently used 5G frequencies.

But that’s not all. The 6G network is supposed to enable rates of one terabit per second and therefor use frequencies in the terahertz range. Such frequencies are already in use in the area of security controls at the airport, for example, during luggage and body scans.

What’s more, with 6G even more mobile communications antennas will be necessary. The number of antennas in Germany at the moment is not clear. Experts assume that there will be 750 000 by the time the 5G expansion is fully completed. For comparison: in 2018 there were only 78 000 antennas in Germany. As 6G radio cells only have a range of about 100 metres, a mini 6G antenna will be necessary at almost every street lamp.



But what is actually 6G for? Whereas 5G enables the communication between machines, with 6G the human-machine communication should be possible. Besides more and more human-like robots, holograms can then be realised as well. Internet enabled lamps should not only give light, but also deliver data (Visible Light Communication). And autonomous driving is supposed to be much more precise with 6G than it is with 5G.

Conclusion: The 5G expansion has been put into practice almost nationwide within a short period of time although up to 1000 scientific studies worldwide prove the harmful effects of mobile phone and WLAN radiation. With the introduction of 6G the effects on the body won’t be taken into account either. The radiation exposure, however, will increase further on many times over. That’s why it’s all the more important to take care of the protection of one’s health now.
