FACTS about 5G & wireless technology
THANK YOU to South Carolina Coalition for Wireless Safety Standards
SCCWSS has been a huge supporter of our efforts in Charleston. We would like to thank them for the information provided on this page. You can join their informative Patreon site for a small monthly donation, or follow SCCWSS on Facebook for fantastic resources and updates for the State of South Carolina.
5G Is Faster Than 4G, But Wavelength Is Short, Which Means Thousands of More Towers for Coverage
Although 5G technology brings faster transmission speeds, the 5G wavelengths are short and only have a range of about 1,000 feet. Comparatively 4G range is about 10 miles. This means that 5G technology requires the installation of thousands more cell towers, mid cell towers, pico cells and metro cells for what the cell industry calls “network densification”. Our concern is the complete saturation of our environment with an intense increase in electromagnetic radiation and the effect on wildlife, plants and the health of our citizens, especially children.
5th Generation Wireless (5G) Does Not Replace 2G, 3G or 4G, Its IN ADDITION To the Current Wireless
This means that the telecommunication companies would be adding a substantial and
intense level of electromagnetic radiation to our environment which is already saturated with electromagnetic pollution. A cohort study, which follows groups of people forward in time, has never been completed examining the dangers of the cumulative radio frequency and microwave radiation on human beings (radios, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular, smart meters, etc).
Fiber Optic Cable Can Transmit Faster Than 5G Wireless Technology & Without The Health Risks
In fact, fiber optic cable is not only extremely safe, vastly more secure, requires much less energy, and transmits data literally thousands of times faster and at infinitely greater distances than any current wireless technology like 4G and 5G. Learn more about fiber optics here.
Your Smart Phone's Manual Explicitly States Health Warnings
In your smart phone's manual (you may have to look it up on the manufacturer's website) there is a warning that explicitly states that you must not put the phone to your head or keep it on your body so as to avoid exceeding the unit's radiation exposure limits. As well, a recent independent investigation has revealed that the iPhone 7 measured over the legal safety limit and more than double what Apple reported to federal regulators from its own testing.

The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Telecommunications Act of 1996
Prohibits local jurisdictions from considering perceived health effects when opposing a proposed wireless installation (5G or otherwise).
As well, the South Carolina Bill H4262 "Small Wireless Facilities Deployment Act", in the Senate as of 4/2020, if passed, would prohibit local municipalities from opposing or regulating the telecommunications deployment of 5G technology.
