What really is 5G? What is Health Canada doing about 5G governance?

Here is another great article from Health Canada.

About 5G technology
5G is the term used to describe the 5th generation of wireless communication technology that will be used by newer mobile devices and antenna installations. 5G can use:

frequencies used by current mobile devices, for example 3G and 4G
frequencies above 6 GHz
Frequencies above 6 GHz have already been used for a number of years in many applications, such as:

police radar
remote sensors
technology in medicine
security-screening units at airports

Just as Shared Tower said, the frequency has been used for some time now.

5G devices will need to meet the Canadian radiofrequency exposure requirements before they can be sold in Canada.

Antenna installation operators using 5G technology will have the same on-going compliance obligations for radiofrequency exposures to wireless devices and installations.

Thousands of scientific studies have evaluated the safety of radiofrequency EMF. Evidence from these studies establishes only 2 adverse health effects that can occur at levels above the Canadian limits:

tissue heating, such as the warming of your skin
nerve stimulation, which can cause a tingling sensation in your skin
The occurrence of these health effects depends on a combination of:

the intensity of radiofrequency EMF exposure
how long you are exposed to radiofrequency EMF
the distance of your body from the source of radiofrequency EMF
The Canadian radiofrequency safety requirement provides protection against all established health effects.

This page is the most up to date page on 5G technology and has more links to the facts.

Here is a PDF explaining how 5G is safe.

Once again explaining that a good cell phone reception is better for your health.
