FCC says 5G is safe, wants to maintain current RF exposure limits

Consumers around the nation have expressed concerns about the potential health consequences associated with 5G networks.

The issue arrives as cities increase the number of RF antennas to support 5G networks, spurring a letter sent in December 2018 to FCC Commissioner Brendan Carr over the matter.

In a statement about the concerns published today, FCC Chairman Ajit Pai proposed that the agency maintain the current radiofrequency exposure limits for handheld gadgets.

The early days of cell phones spurred conspiracy theories and general public concern over the potential for developing brain tumors linked to phone use.

Such concerns largely disappeared over the years as mobile phones replaced landlines and usage took place without any grand issues.

The world is on the cusp of widespread 5G deployment and with it comes a new batch of health-centric paranoia.
