As with previous cellular technologies, 5G networks rely on signals carried by radio waves - part of the electromagnetic spectrum - transmitted between an antenna or mast and your phone.
Behind the scenes, studies modelling the absorption patterns of 5G electromagnetic energy in human tissue, authored by Professor Andrew Wood’s Swinburne team, has helped form the basis for ...
The radio waves involved in 5G - and the previous generation networks - sit on the low frequency end of the electromagnetic spectrum. Less powerful than visible light, they are not energetic ...
