5G Information
What is 5G?
5G was turned on in the beginning of this year and the frequency was turned up to 3500MHz (or 3.5GHz) in Nanaimo in June. Nanaimo was the first city in the entire country to act as the testing ground for this increased frequency.
So what is 5G? 5G is the next generation of radio technology that is currently being unrolled in Canada and other countries. But why spend all this money to roll out 5G infrastructure? How is 5G supposedly better than its predecessor? To put it simply, 5G uses a higher frequency, shorter wavelength of non-ionizing radiation than 4G does and the higher the frequency, the greater the speed and bandwidth. While the level of its frequency has been limited during its roll out, it has the potential to be increased to several tens of GHz to further increase bandwidth and speed. But what cost does faster download speeds come with? Does it effect our health?
Nanaimo as a 3500 MHz Test City
Nanaimo was the test city for the whole of Canada to increase the 5G frequency to 3500 MHz (3.5 GHz) in June of 2022?
Act Now
Following the testimony of countless doctors and scientists across the world, we need to ensure the health and safety of our community. We the people need to make the change and demand that the city halt the roll out of the 5G in Nanaimo, turn the frequencies back to 4G and prove to us through pure scientific research
