    If you suddenly get corona smash your phone.
    I thought they delayed 5g rollout because it jacked up aviation electronics?

    Same situation here SKEETER McCLUSKEY . We're rely on one tower in the area and they've recently started "modernizing" it. Nothing but problems for a few weeks.

    The "big" towers don't have 5g on them iirc.
    5g is often on signal light posts

    5g doesn't use (traditional) towers, they''re little units often the size of a breadbox. They are small, have small range and there will need to be many, many of them to cover an area. They have powerful tech that has lower energy requirements.

    Heck, 4G is not very prevalent within 30 miles of me, much less 5g. My carrier keeps telling me I should get a new phone so I can get 5g. Yeah, nope.

    See Henniker there in the middle - I'm not there. I'm about 7 miles southwest 5g coverage us cell.JPG

    Here is the approximately 2.5 mile diameter view
