As studies have shown microwave radiation is not safe at close range over long periods of time.
These antennas are close to many homes, and extremely close to some of them.
EMRHA sent out a team with video gear and a high quality RF meter to measure the levels from these new eNodeB Telus antennas. (December 2016)
What they found was the antennas can send these strong signals up to seven or eight homes away before the signal begins to deteriorate.
In other words, close range antennas, just as the FCC stated in their statement about 5G antennas.
These close range signals can transmit up to 500 feet according to Telus,
but at 20 feet close to a home the RF levels are up to 30,000 µW/m2. Even low levels of Radio Frequency Radiation (RFR) can have effects.
Update – May 2017
Several members on Vancouver Island have been measuring levels at certain antennas over time.
New record level from Small Cell Antenna 105.1000 mW/m2!
Many people they talked to would like to know what the numbers of these measurements mean, so here are references for comparison :
There is the European EMF Guideline (European Academy of Environmental Medicine)
Very detailed, but might be to confusing (P. 381)
From the Austrian Medical Association – EMF Guideline,
(it is simpler)
High-frequency electromagnetic radiation (as power flow density)
Actual RF microwave radiation measurement : 105.1000 mW/m2!
Recommended by the Austrian Medical Association! 0.001 mW/m²
1 mW/m² very far above normal
0.01-1 mW/m² far above normal
0.001-0.01 mW/m² slightly above normal
0.001 mW/m² within normal limits

Hi all
I did the above RFR measure on a house in Mission BC late last year.
I used a GigaHertz HF59B – omni antenna – MED setting
The 30,000 uW/m2 was the clipped value because MED setting only reads to 30,000 uW/m2. The reading was as the base of the pole. If we assume that the level of radiation in the direction of the antenna is greater than that at 90 deg to the side then my estimate of the radiation levels into the 2nd floor of the house were much greater than 30,000, possibly 80,000 to 100,000 uW/m2. I must visit the homeowner and get a new RFR measure inside the house.
