Scott and Highlands resident Janis Hoffmann take a look at the cellphone transmitter that was installed near Scott&#8217;s home on Fairway Avenue.<\/p>\n<div><em>\u2014\u00a0Image Credit: Katherine Engqvist\/News Gazette Staff<\/em>J Scott was on holidays when Telus Communications Company contractors installed fibre optic cables in her Langford neighbourhood. But upon her return she noticed something on a nearby utility pole that she wasn\u2019t made aware of when representatives went door to door on her street.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Micro-cell transmitters are popping up on utility poles across the province and they\u2019re something some West Shore residents are concerned about.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fibre optic is a benign cable,\u201d said Scott, who lives on Fairway Avenue. \u201cThese are not benign, they\u2019re sending out signals \u2026 The cable doesn\u2019t pose a threat, the cell phone transmitter does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After realizing what they were, Scott went around her neighbourhood asking people to sign a petition to have the devices removed from poles on their street. \u201c(Almost) everyone on our street signed the petition,\u201d she said, noting that she was unable to catch someone home at the one household that didn\u2019t sign.<\/p>\n<p>Scott noted the poles and easement areas are supposed to be used for essential services. But she said these transmitters are being used for one company\u2019s professional advancement. \u201cIt\u2019s not an essential service.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Residents on Fairway Avenue aren\u2019t the only ones requesting that Telus move or remove the transmitters.<\/p>\n<p>Colwood resident Sharon Noble said, \u201cif you\u2019re living with this outside your home, you should be told what it is.\u201d She said that when the fibre optic network was going up outside her home on Triangle Mountain, she asked every possible question about them.<\/p>\n<p>Scott added that she asked the same questions and was assured there would be no transmitters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey lied to me, I\u2019ll say it,\u201d Noble said. \u201cSo many people are sensitive, it\u2019s not uncommon \u2026 Avoidance is the only thing you can do.\u201d She pointed out that \u201cif these things are outside your home you have no choice \u2026 You can\u2019t turn it off, it\u2019s 24-7.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Janis Hoffmann was successful in getting a transmitter that would have gone up outside her home moved to a different location, adding that she recognized what the workers were putting up before it was installed. She also had a note, from a doctor specializing in electromagnetic hypersensitivity (EHS), for her grandson and daughter who now live with her.<\/p>\n<p>New to the Highlands, Hoffmann had lived in Colwood for 43 years. \u201cI had no intention of selling my house \u2026 I was going to live there forever,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>But after finding out her grandson suffers from EHS, which she said led to a number of health issues, Hoffmann said she began to realize what her home was being exposed to. With her grandson in her home most days, she looked for alternatives.<\/p>\n<p>After moving to the Highlands, in an area with very little exposure to cell towers and Wi-Fi, her grandson experienced major improvements to his health, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Telus spokesperson Richard Gilhooley said the company is \u201calways happy to speak to residents about their concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked why residents were consulted about the installation of fibre optic cables, but not the micro-cell transmitters, he said that when crews install cables they need residents\u2019 permission to do so on private property.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe distinction there is the micro-cells are on our property,\u201d Gilhooley said. \u201cBecause it\u2019s our property there is no duty to consult.\u201d He added, \u201cwe always let the local government know what\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But that\u2019s a grey area in Noble\u2019s opinion. \u201cEven if they don\u2019t have to legally tell us, they still should,\u201d she said. \u201cThey are misleading \u2026 They\u2019re not telling people the whole story.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A City of Langford staff member said the City has no consultation policy for the installation of these types of devices, noting they cannot regulate them as they are on Telus\u2019 property. The infrastructure is, however, regulated by the CRTC.<\/p>\n<p>As for why these transmitters are going up, Gilhooley said demand on the Island for better cell coverage is increasing. He nodded to the rise in 9-1-1 calls originating from cell phones. \u201cWe want to be able to keep up with demand,\u201d he said. Alternatively, he added, without additional micro-cell transmitters or towers residents could start to see an increase in dropped calls.<\/p>\n<p>These micro-cell transmitters, he said, are a smaller, lower-powered option to full-sized towers. \u201cThat\u2019s the beauty of these things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The devices are being installed in areas where Telus, residents or local governments have recognized a need for increased coverage and Gilhooley noted their installation is usually routine. \u201cThe response is usually positive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>katie@goldstreamgazette.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goldstreamgazette.com\/news\/397685081.html\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">http:\/\/www.goldstreamgazette.com\/news\/397685081.html<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Unite-Against-Microcell-Transmitters-813602315409985\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Unite-Against-Microcell-Transmitters-813602315409985\/<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n<h2>Telus tests 5G, rolls out LTE-Advanced Pro in Vancouver<\/h2>\n<p>Tuesday 4 October 2016 | 17:28 CET | News<\/p>\n<p>Canadian operator Telus announced that it achieved speeds of 29.3 Gbps in tests of pre-5G equipment with Huawei.

innovation in 5G channel coding technology.<\/p>\n<p>During a field trial in both static and mobile environments, Huawei was able to demonstrate that polar code technology can simultaneously meet the typical use cases of the ITU\u2019s 5G definition, which involves speeds in the tens of gigabits, 1ms latency and billions of connections.<\/p>\n<p>The company said polar code demonstrated three times the spectrum efficiency compared to current RAN networks.<\/p>\n<p>Polar code is designed to allow significantly higher spectrum efficiency than current cellular access technologies and to enable decoding with linear complexity.<\/p>\n<p>On the encoding side, polar code can optimize channel capacity close to the Shannon Limit, the theoretical highest capacity of a communications channel before noise introduces faults.<\/p>\n<p>The field trial also took into account the use of millimeter-wave and multiple parallel sessions based on short and large packet sizes.<\/p>\n<p>Last week Huawei and

The research will take place through 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">5G &#8212; Fifth Generation &#8212; wireless is expected to be tens or even <strong>hundreds of times faster than 4G<\/strong>, downloading a movie over the network in mere seconds. To achieve that speed &#8212; and provide exciting new applications on future networks &#8212; 5G will use higher frequencies and be deployed more densely than previous cellular networks, which have largely been determined to be safe for us puny humans, ever have before. (See 5G: What Is It &amp; Why Does It Matter? and 5G: As Close as You&#8217;ll Get to a Jet Pack!.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8220;With some industry giants predicting 50 billion connected devices by 2020 and with the employment of much higher transmission frequencies proposed for the 5G rollout, it is essential to determine how the future of telecommunications will affect the health of its users,&#8221; principal investigator Dr. Faraz Hasan says in the announcement.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hasan is talking about centimeter and millimeter waves, which have previously only been used in very limited short-range fixed wireless and mobile backhaul applications. It is anticipated with the coming of 5G, frequencies like 15GHz, 28GHz, 39GHz and 60GHz could be put into widespread usage, and these short-range, high-speed signals would require thousands (maybe millions) more radios and antennas to be dotted round the cityscape. 4G networks today are typically built around low- and medium-band radio spectrum (600MHz to 2.5GHz in the US) and a backbone of cell towers with some distributed antennas and smaller radios to extend coverage. (See Sprint: We&#8217;re Building a 5G-Ready Network, Not a 4G Relic.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Operators, researchers and vendors are now turning that model of deployment on its head with plans that will mix some large towers with many, many more small radios using higher frequencies than ever before. So, naturally, health concerns about incredibly dense radio network networks in urban environments are starting to bubble to the surface. (See Sprint&#8217;s Saw: &#8216;5G&#8217; Opp Is Moving Signal Closer to Customers.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There&#8217;s a further wrinkle to the 5G radios that it is not even clear from the announcement whether this research will grapple with or not. The FCC, for instance, keeps very tight limits on the antenna power limits allowed for different fixed and mobile applications. Carriers in the US, however, are starting to ask the agency if they can increase the amount of Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) &#8212; that&#8217;s peak antenna gain &#8212; used for millimetre wave applications.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Verizon Communications Inc. (NYSE: VZ) said this in a filing to the FCC in January this year.<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&#8216;Conventional&#8217; base station antenna gains for other mobile uses typically have gains in the 9\u201325dBi range because they are limited by practical antenna size.

As cities get denser, and its citizens\u2019 wireless needs more explicit, carriers are looking to new technologies as ways to fill in the coverage gaps left by mounting large antennas on increasingly crowded rooftops, or towers whose signals can\u2019t quite reach every device it promises.<\/p>\n<p>Dubbed \u201csmall cells\u201d, these diminutive\u00a0boxes are often installed on the street level \u2014 on light fixtures, or utility\u00a0polls \u2014 or even in peoples\u2019 homes, as ways of boosting cellular signals indoors or in dense urban areas.\u00a0With a range of between a few metres to up to several kilometres, the category itself is a vibrant ecosystem of suppliers and distributors working with carriers to improve their coverage as demand for wireless data burdens existing \u201cmacro\u201d cell infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Most Canadians don\u2019t care how they connect to their carrier\u2019s wireless network, as long as the signal is strong and the performance vibrant. In large cities such as Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, density, both in terms of people and the signal-reflecting nature of tall buildings, has forced carriers to pursue a small cell strategy that, in 2016, will likely double in deployment from a year ago, according to a tower executive familiar with Canadian carriers\u2019 plans.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in the month, SaskTel announced that it\u00a0deployed Huawei\u2019s Lampsite technology, a variation on existing small cell products, in two buildings at the University of Regina. Scott Bradley, Huawei Canada\u2019s VP of corporate and government affairs, said the university had been looking to shore up its wireless coverage inside the thick concrete\u00a0monoliths\u00a0that comprise much of the campus.<\/p>\n<p>Under the supervision of SaskTel engineers, the university\u2019s Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences oversaw the first Canadian deployment of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wireless-mag.com\/News\/32351\/mwc-2015-huawei-releases-lampsite-20-indoor-mobile-coverage-solution-.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lampsite<\/a>, a variation of small cell technology that creates a Heterogeneous Network, or HetNet, within its service area.<\/p>\n<p>Now in its second generation, Lampsite generates three signals \u2014 WiFi, 3G (HSPA+) and LTE \u2014 and \u201coffers\u201d devices the best one seamlessly depending on a number of factors. When deployed inside a building, a single box can connect to a carrier\u2019s network through a provisioned ethernet cable, or by picking up a weak signal from a remote tower and amplifying it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLampsite is part of the evolution towards 5G,\u201d said Bradley, whose company is pushing to be the primary hardware provider to Canadian carriers for the next-generation wireless standard. The idea is that under 5G, devices such as smartphones, tablets, wearables and other connected products will be able to simultaneously send and receive data from a number of sources; effectively, the distinction between WiFi and cellular will be eliminated.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, small cell deployments will be increasingly common in densely-populated cities as data needs proliferate. In the U.S. and Canada, locations such as sports stadiums and school arenas are already well set up for small cell offloading. According to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cisco.com\/c\/en\/us\/solutions\/collateral\/service-provider\/visual-networking-index-vni\/white_paper_c11-520862.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cisco\u2019s\u00a0Visual Networking Index\u00a0report<\/a>, released last February, by the end of 2016 over half of all worldwide mobile traffic will be offloaded to a WiFi network or cellular equivalent, known as a femtocell.<\/p>\n<p>In 2015, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Telus reportedly deployed around 2,000 small cells in Vancouver and Calgary<\/strong><\/span>, a number that eclipses that of <strong>Rogers and Bell<\/strong>. While no carrier has shared official numbers of small cell deployments, Telus has reportedly been able to reduce deployment costs because it co-owns\u00a0with BC Hydro a number of utility poles that are classified for cellular equipment use. Bell and Rogers deployed around 400 and 50 respectively, but every major Canadian carrier has yet to see costs of small cell equipment drop low enough compared to their relative coverage area to match the economies of scale of so-called <strong>macro towers<\/strong>, which cover much of Canada with 3G and 4G LTE signal.<\/p>\n<p>One Canadian company, however, may single-handedly make small cells mainstream across the country \u2014 or at least in the western half of the country. \u00a0<strong>Shaw Communications<\/strong>, which in 2011\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mobilesyrup.com\/2011\/09\/01\/shaw-scraps-plan-to-build-wireless-network-opts-for-wi-fi-network\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reversed course on its decision to deploy a cellular network<\/a>\u00a0after spending $189.5 million in 2008\u2019s AWS spectrum auction, currently operates some 75,000 WiFi hotspots across Western Canada and parts of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and western Ontario. While Shaw has yet to comment on its plans for Wind Mobile (Freedom Mobile),\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mobilesyrup.com\/2015\/12\/16\/shaw-communications-set-to-purchase-wind-mobile-for-1-6-billion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which it is purchasing for $1.6 billion<\/a>, one obvious measure to shore up signal is to augment its existing WiFi infrastructure with a network of small cells broadcasting what will inevitably be high-speed LTE through those existing nodes. Shaw expects to spend $250 million throughout this year and into 2017 to improve Wind\u2019s network, eventually rolling out a robust LTE network once handsets are available that support the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/mobilesyrup.com\/2015\/12\/17\/everything-you-need-to-know-about-shaws-acquisition-of-wind-mobile\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">just-ratified AWS-3 standard<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, <strong>small cells<\/strong> are useful to prevent waste in deployments of high-frequency spectrum on which\u00a0many Canadian carriers have spent millions of dollars accruing. Whereas <strong>700Mhz<\/strong> spectrum already exists to penetrate thick walls and travel longer distances, high-frequency spectrum like AWS and <strong>2500Mhz<\/strong> can carry more data at higher speeds.

The problem with the latter has always been that in dense cities wireless signals struggle to flow freely through the concrete jungle, meaning certain users may be hard-pressed to find wireless connectivity in their homes or offices, or even in certain parts of their homes or offices.<\/p>\n<p>In an effort to fill such dead zones in network coverage, giving everyone the best wireless experience possible, Canadian carriers are turning to a solution we\u2019ve seen bandied about for several years now: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetelecomblog.com\/2013\/02\/08\/small-cells-solution-to-spectrum-crisis\/\">small cell technology.<\/a> By installing these diminutive, short-range devices as strategic points throughout densely populated urban centres, carriers will be able to better establish comprehensive coverage, as the cells will work in conjunction (sometimes even replacing) with the larger, \u201cmacro\u201d cell tower infrastructure that we commonly associate with wireless networks.<\/p>\n<p>While all major Canadian carriers do utilize small cell technology already, l<a href=\"http:\/\/mobilesyrup.com\/2016\/01\/19\/to-keep-canadians-connected-carriers-are-going-small\/\">ook for 2016 to be the year where this technology comes to the fore,<\/a> as carriers look for ways of providing the ubiquitous technology our increasingly connected everything existence demands.<\/p>\n<p>Now I would argue that for the more part Canadians don\u2019t care about the technology used to create reliable and accessible network coverage, they just want to know that when they need to connect, the connection is strong and fast. But as I said, the problems in Canada are that carriers either have to foot the bill for providing network coverage over expansive and sparsely populated rural communities, or they have to find ways of penetrating the alternatively dense concrete jungle of the country\u2019s huge metropolitan centres. It is the latter where small cells will likely play a growing role this coming year.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned, small cells work both to bolster and bandage nationwide 3G\/4G\/LTE networks,\u00a0increasing network coverage in areas were traditional coverage has been weak, working alongside traditional cell towers, even replacing them when required. With a range between a few metres and a few kilometres, by installing small cells in key locations, such as buildings, lamp posts, or busy outdoor spaces like parks, Canadian carriers will be able to broaden their blanket coverage, allowing their respective networks to handle more devices at once, thus allowing more people to connect to wireless networks using smartphones, tablets, and other wireless technology.<\/p>\n<p>While not a new technology <i>per se<\/i>\u2014<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thetelecomblog.com\/2013\/07\/18\/small-cells-pose-big-problems\/\">and one rife with unresolved security concerns<\/a>\u2014small cells are one key piece to the spectrum puzzle, as carriers look for ways to expand their network coverage and better utilize the bandwidth they have available.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mobilesyrup.com\/2016\/01\/19\/to-keep-canadians-connected-carriers-are-going-small\/\">According to reports<\/a>, in 2015 <strong>Telus deployed more than 2000 small cells around Vancouver and Calgary<\/strong>, surpassing <strong>Rogers and Bell estimates of around 500 cells respectively<\/strong>.

Although AT&amp;T doesn\u2019t yet have plans to commercially deploy AirGig, the company is planning on more trials this year that will involve 5G. AT&amp;T is also currently working with vendors and technology partners to build commercial-grade 5G equipment for those trials.<\/p>\n<p>According to Hank Kafka, vice president of\u00a0access architecture and standards at AT&amp;T, the company isn\u2019t ready to provide details about those vendors or the upcoming trials. However, he did say Project AirGig is making progress, and the operator believes it will be a very complementary technology to 5G.<\/p>\n<p>Kafka said that while AirGig can support a range of different wireless transport technologies including LTE and 5G, he noted that \u201c5G is very high on that list.\u201d Specifically, AirGig could be used to extend 5G millimeter wave (mmWave) signals beyond their current range. AT&amp;T has launched mobile <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiercewireless.com\/5g\/at-t-expands-mobile-5g-to-7-more-cities\">5G service in 19 markets<\/a> so far using mmWave spectrum, but using that spectrum has drawbacks because it has a limited range compared to lower spectrum bands.<\/p>\n<p>AirGig technology includes a radio distributed antenna system (RDAS) and mmWave surface wave launcher. The RDAS reconstructs signals for multigigabit mobile and fixed deployments, while the mmWave surface wave launchers can power themselves using inductive power devices without an electrical connection. These devices then create a high-speed signal that travels along or near the wire, providing a broadband connection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fiercewireless.com\/wireless\/at-t-aims-to-test-airgig-paired-5g\">AT&amp;T aims to test AirGig paired with 5G<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In 2017, AT&amp;T tested AirGig in a trial with Georgia Power Company but used LTE as the transport technology. Kafka said that\u00a0it used LTE because there wasn\u2019t any 5G equipment available that was appropriate for the trial. \u201cAt the time of the trial 5G equipment was large and bulky,\u201d he said. But now 5G is commercially deployed in some markets, and more streamlined gear is available. That\u2019s why AT&amp;T is now working with vendors to get the right type of gear for the new trials.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the operator believes that early trial with Georgia Power was a success because it showed that the technology was able to transmit a signal regardless of weather or any other issues. And Kafka said that the company also had a good response to its self-install receivers. \u201cWithin 10 minutes, customers could get the receiver installed and get access,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<h3>AirGig for backhaul<\/h3>\n<p>Not only could AirGig potentially extend the reach of 5G, but it could also be used as a backhaul technology. \u201cIf you set up an architecture where AirGig is connecting to 5G radios, it is acting like backhaul,\u201d Kafka said. \u201cAnd you can get gigabit speeds and beyond.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Because AirGig is still in the development phase, Kafka said that AT&amp;T is not currently negotiating any deals with utility companies to deploy the technology on their power lines. However, he did note that AirGig might be a natural technology to support <strong>smart grid applications<\/strong>, and that might be<strong> appealing to utilities.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>He also said that commercialized AirGig would be a good fit for small cells because of the way it is architected. In other words, a wireless signal could travel down the power line and hand off to small cells or be used to backhaul wireless traffic from small cells.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.fiercewireless.com\/wireless\/at-t-s-project-airgig-could-extend-5g-mmwave-signals<\/p>\n<div id=\"storyBody\">\n<div>\n<div>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<h2>Smart cities, 5G and EMF pollution: How this \u2018new\u2019 technology will INCREASE our exposure to microwave radiation<\/h2>\n<p>Posted by: Jeromy Johnson in EMF Pollution June 18, 2017<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"aolmail_aolmail_LPlnk569587\" href=\"http:\/\/www.naturalhealth365.com\/emf-wireless-technology-2278.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">http:\/\/www.naturalhealth365.com\/emf-wireless-technology-2278.html<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n<h2>AT&amp;T sheds light on its 5G strategy<\/h2>\n<p>Kevin Tran May 19 2017<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/static3.businessinsider.com\/image\/591ef35134911bd5008b4eb8-700\/5g%20trials.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"517\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;AT&amp;T\u2019s updates come as the wireless industry races to be the first to deploy 5G networks in the US.

Telecoms will continue to push the envelope in terms of 5G developments as they vie for a first-mover advantage.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/att-sheds-light-on-its-5g-strategy-2017-5\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/att-sheds-light-on-its-5g-strategy-2017-5<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"page-title\">Why China is set to spend US$411 billion on 5G mobile networks<\/h2>\n<p>Monday, 19 June, 2017<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.scmp.com\/tech\/china-tech\/article\/2098948\/china-plans-28-trillion-yuan-capital-expenditure-create-worlds\">http:\/\/www.scmp.com\/tech\/china-tech\/article\/2098948\/china-plans-28-trillion-yuan-capital-expenditure-create-worlds<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><b>AT&amp;T starts upgrading wireless networks to 5G<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>By Dmitry Rashnitsov \u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0 Feb. 12, 2016 at 9:49 AM<\/p>\n<p>DALLAS, Feb. 12 (UPI) &#8212; AT&amp;T said Friday it intends to start testing next-generation 5G technology next month with faster speeds coming first to Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>The company unveiled plans to upgrade its wireless systems to the faster technology by the end of 2018, saying it expects to provide its current 46 million subscriber base with 10 to 100 times faster data and web connections.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;New experiences like virtual reality, self-driving cars, robotics, smart cities and more are about to test networks like never before,&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/about.att.com\/story\/unveils_5g_roadmap_including_trials.html\">said John Donovan, chief strategy officer and group president of AT&amp;T Technology and Operations<\/a>. &#8220;These technologies will be immersive, pervasive and responsive to customers. 5G will help make them a reality. 5G will reach its full potential because we will build it on a software-centric architecture that can adapt quickly to new demands and give customers more control of their network services.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Testing of the 5G systems is expected to take about a year to debug<\/strong>, with <strong>another year planned for getting hardware in place<\/strong> across the United States and switching customers over to the updated spectrums.<\/p>\n<p>AT&amp;T says consumers will see the biggest change in how download and upload speeds are measured. They are are currently calculated in megabits, but after the switch they will be conveyed in gigabits. The company says that at 1 gigabit per second, customers can download a 30-minute TV program in less than 3 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>AT&amp;T will work with fellow technology companies Ericsson and Intel to start rolling out trial runs of the new hardware and software in the next few months.<\/p>\n<p>AT&amp;T is the second-largest wireless and data provider in the United States. It&#8217;s main competitor, Verizon Wireless, in December announced a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lightreading.com\/mobile\/5g\/atandt-lights-fire-under-5g-plans-2016-trials\/d\/d-id\/721041\">similar rollout<\/a> of its 5G competitor technology.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\" https:\/\/www.upi.com\/Business_News\/2016\/02\/12\/ATT-starts-upgrading-wireless-networks-to-5G\/5851455282496\/\">\u00a0https:\/\/www.upi.com\/Business_News\/2016\/02\/12\/ATT-starts-upgrading-wireless-networks-to-5G\/5851455282496\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pedroc.co.uk\/content\/vodafone-massive-mimo?fbclid=IwAR0AtRtdd-tT6-ere2BQk1ZqGxIOtTnoq5pcppQS-vOqF3pvYo8ZeexOAG0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14951 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/manchester_univ-1024x605.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"605\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/manchester_univ-1024x605.png 1024w, https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/manchester_univ-300x177.png 300w, https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/manchester_univ-768x454.png 768w, https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/manchester_univ.png 1839w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/pedroc.co.uk\/content\/vodafone-massive-mimo?fbclid=IwAR0AtRtdd-tT6-ere2BQk1ZqGxIOtTnoq5pcppQS-vOqF3pvYo8ZeexOAG0\">University of Manchester<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Three Universities to develop \u00a316m 5G test network<\/h2>\n<p><strong>New network will link universities to test cutting-edge 5G technology<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Published 6 July 2017<\/p>\n<p>First step in plan to make UK a leader in sector which could add up to \u00a3173bn to the economy<\/p>\n<p>Includes plans to deliver end-to-end 5G trial in early 2018<\/p>\n<p>A world-class 5G technology test network will aim to put Britain at the forefront of the next wave of mobile technology &#8211; potentially adding up to \u00a3173 billion to the economy by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>Experts from leading 5G research institutions at <strong>King\u2019s College London and the Universities of Surrey and Bristol<\/strong>, will be awarded \u00a316m to develop the cutting-edge 5G test network which will see academic expertise and commercial leadership brought together to trial the technology and make sure people and businesses can enjoy the benefits sooner.<\/p>\n<p>5G is expected to deliver reliable ultrafast mobile connectivity with the ability to process huge amounts of data and support complex applications predicted for tomorrow\u2019s mobile phones &#8211; for example, sending virtual reality 3D TV clips to mobile devices.<\/p>\n<p>It could also be used in new technologies that have the potential to revolutionise society such as autonomous vehicles &#8211; for example, to make sure they can be used safely on our roads &#8211; or in advanced manufacturing and robotics, augmented reality, remote surgery, smart agriculture and in smart homes and cities.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Minister for Digital Matt Hancock said:<\/strong><br \/>\nWe want to be at the head of the field in 5G. This funding will support the pioneering research needed to ensure we can harness the potential of this technology to spark innovation, create new jobs and boost the economy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"last-child\">We know 5G has the potential to bring more reliable, ultrafast mobile connectivity, with quicker reaction times and larger data capabilities, and I\u2019m thrilled to announce King\u2019s College London and the universities of Surrey and Bristol have agreed to collaborate on this project.<\/p>\n<p>This test network will trial and demonstrate the next generation of mobile technology and is the first part of a four-year programme of investment and collaboration in the Government\u2019s new 5G Testbeds and Trials programme.<\/p>\n<p>The universities will work together to create three small-scale mobile networks which together will form the test network. Each network will have a number of the elements expected in a commercial 5G network &#8211; including mobile signal receivers and transmitters and the technology to handle 5G signals &#8211; to support trials of its many potential uses.<\/p>\n<p>The project will build on existing research and help to make the case for timely deployment of 5G in the UK. It will help make sure the country is ready to capitalise on a potentially huge global market for 5G products and services and create opportunities for British business to grow at home and abroad. It will also mark the first steps towards developing a new national 5G Innovation Network.<\/p>\n<p>This investment is also aiming to deliver a 5G end-to-end trial in early 2018. This could be, for example, a trial in which a signal is sent from a mobile device, such as a phone or in a car, to a data centre and back again. This will test the capability of 5G to make an application or service work in a real-world environment.<\/p>\n<p>Surrey, Bristol and King\u2019s are internationally renowned for their work on 5G and specialise in different aspects of the technology. The project will combine their strengths.<\/p>\n<p>Rahim Tafazolli, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surrey.ac.uk\/5gic\"><strong>University of Surrey\u2019s 5G Innovation Centre<\/strong><\/a> director, is the project lead and will be working with Dimitra Simeonidou from the University of Bristol and Mischa Dohler from King\u2019s College London to deliver the project. He said:<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.surrey.ac.uk\/5gic\"><strong>University of Surrey\u2019s 5GIC<\/strong><\/a>, University of Bristol and King\u2019s College London are delighted to be delivering this initial project as part of the Government\u2019s new 5G Testbeds and Trials Programme. This investment will ensure that the UK continues to be world-class in 5G innovation and development through to commercial exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>This exciting programme builds on significant investment and a strong foundation of 5G research and development across the three institutions. The programme will maintain and extend the UK\u2019s leadership position in the race to transform many aspects of everyday life and business through digital transformation.<\/p>\n<p>Exchequer Secretary to the Treasury, Andrew Jones MP, said:<br \/>\nEnsuring Britain remains at the forefront of digital innovation is a priority for this government.<\/p>\n<p>We are investing \u00a3740 million from the National Productivity Investment Fund to boost the country\u2019s digital infrastructure, and today\u2019s announcement will help provide people and businesses with the next generation of connections.<\/p>\n<p>A better connected Britain will make us a more productive country and improve living standards.<\/p>\n<p>Other academic institutions, industry and local authorities will also be able to bid for further funding to be part of this programme from 2018\/19 onwards. Further details on opportunities and the funding available will be published later this year.<\/p>\n<p>A new centre of 5G expertise has also been created in the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to drive forward this work.<\/p>\n<p>At Autumn Statement 2016, the Government first announced its intention to invest in a nationally coordinated programme of 5G Testbeds &amp; Trials, as part of a \u00a31bn package of announcements made to boost the UK\u2019s digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p>Of this funding, \u00a3740m from the National Productivity Investment Fund (NPIF), will spent on two new programmes: the Local Full Fibre Networks Programme and a new programme of coordinated 5G testbeds and trials. These programmes will help to de liver next generation mobile services and full-fibre broadband networks.<\/p>\n<p>The Government\u2019s 5G Strategy set out the first steps to make the UK a world leader in the mobile technology and included a pledge to develop a 5G testing facility.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the 5G Testbeds &amp; Trials Programme is to make the UK an attractive place to test 5G applications and services, helping to ensure the UK secures an \u2018early mover advantage\u2019 in the development of new 5G applications and services and to support the timely deployment of 5G networks.<\/p>\n<p>5G\u2019s full economic impact is difficult to predict at this early stage but there is emerging consensus that one of the main benefits will be in enabling new applications in a number of different sectors.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the GSMA estimates that the contribution of mobile to the global economy will be worth USD$3.9 trillion in 2020, of which over 75% will be benefits to the wider economy that are enabled by mobile.<\/p>\n<p>Other recent reports have illustrated the potential gains from 5G. In particular: the Future Connectivity Challenge Group report suggests that UK leadership in 5G could result in the opportunity to create \u00a3173 billion of incremental UK GDP growth over a ten year period from 2020 to 2030; and<\/p>\n<p>IHS Economics \/ IHS Technology estimated by modelling industry investment and impacts on total factor productivity from expected use cases that 5G will enable USD$12.3 trillion of global economic output in 2035.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/three-universities-to-develop-16m-5g-test-network\">https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/government\/news\/three-universities-to-develop-16m-5g-test-network<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022\u2022<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=8805\"><strong>eNodeB &#8211; WHAT ARE THEY?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=8807\">eNodeB &#8211; BC LOCATIONS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=10048\">eNodeB &#8211; Alberta<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=9465\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=9476\">eNodeB &#8211; Ontario<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=9465\">eNodeB &#8211; Quebec<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=9059\">eNodeB &#8211; USA LOCATIONS<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=10321\">eNodeB &#8211; Sweden<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=9288\">eNodeB &#8211; RF Measurements<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=10539\">eNodeB &#8211; 5G Health Effects<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=8814\">eNodeB &#8211; 5G MEDIA COVERAGE<\/a>\u00a0 \u00a0\/ \u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=14966\">5G VIDEOS<\/a> \u00a0\/ \u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=11437\">BC Government &amp; Telus<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/?page_id=9263\">eNodeB &#8211; Petition<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Articles : Cells exposed to WIFI die quickly after vaccination &#8211; Jason Christoff &#8211; JasonChristoff.com 5G Phone with 16 Antennas &#8211;\u00a0\u00a0whatsyourtech.ca Dutch State Secretary Admits 5G will be used for Crowd Control! &#8211;\u00a0stop5g-resistance.whynotnews.eu No studies at all \u2013 5G has already been extensively tested on humans! &#8211; \u00a0conspiracyrevelation.com\u00a0 Scientists warn of potential serious health [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":7536,"menu_order":3,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"page-nosidebar.php","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8814","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8814","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8814"}],"version-history":[{"count":49,"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8814\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19925,"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8814\/revisions\/19925"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7536"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/emrabc.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8814"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
