Considering the challenges of dense urban Internet connectivity, many countries have worked towards license-exempt operations of 60 GHz band.
“A prime selling point for the 60 GHz band used by devices programmed for this bandwidth is that it is either license-exempt or lightly licensed in more than 22 countries, including the United States, the UK, China, Germany, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, Australia and New Zealand. Using an unlicensed band for backhaul enables an operator to avoid the time-consuming license application process as well as burdensome license fees.” Fierce Wireless
“The 60 GHZ is a wireless system operating in 54-67 GHz spectrum (commonly known as 60 GHz band) as a wireless broadband solution. A confluence of several factors makes 60 GHz or V-band very attractive for license exempt broadband services. First, the 7 GHz of spectrum from 57 to 64 GHz offers massive capacity compared to the existing broadband spectrum. Silicon technology innovations combined with global momentum behind the IEEE 802.11ad or WiGig standard that also operates in V-band, is making available very low cost semiconductors and system solutions. The large bandwidth available in 60 GHz band allows for wide channelization (e.g. 2.16 GHz in 802.11ad) and hence supports high-speed links with 10 Gbps and higher data rates.” From NFAP 2016 5G Proposal
WiGig specifications were released in 2011, which allow devices to communicate wirelessly at multi-gigabit speeds and deliver high definition content without using wires for shorter distances.
Sounds good? Except there is one minor detail the techies in Silicon Valley, who are not doctors by the way, are missing. 60 GHz sucks the oxygen out of cells. Another minor problem, 60 GHz exposure is damaging to the eye and lymphatic system. See more about oxygen absorption, a.k.a. “the suffocation effect”, and other health effects here.

“Novel 5G technology is being rolled out in several densely populated cities, although potential chronic health or environmental impacts have not been evaluated and are not being followed. Higher frequency (shorter wavelength) radiation associated with 5G does not penetrate the body as deeply as frequencies from older technologies although its effects may be systemic (73, 74). The range and magnitude of potential impacts of 5G technologies are under-researched, although important biological outcomes have been reported with millimeter wavelength exposure. These include oxidative stress and altered gene expression, effects on skin and systemic effects such as on immune function (74). In vivo studies reporting resonance with human sweat ducts (73), acceleration of bacterial and viral replication, and other endpoints indicate the potential for novel as well as more commonly recognized biological impacts from this range of frequencies, and highlight the need for research before population-wide continuous exposures.”
The 5G – 60 GHZ Give Away is simply not good for humans, wildlife, nature, insects and the planet. Could it be worse than we thought? Ultimately, can it be technology that brings about our extinction?
