Abstract

New emerging technology 5G will require higher speed, power and capacity in data transmission than previous generation, in order to obtain a complete world-wireless communication without limitation. In this scenario, given that the achievement of 5G technology will lead to a drastic increase of effects of exposure to microwave radiation, a strategy to reduce the effects of exposure to electromagnetic fields is needed. In this regard, given that cellular functions of human beings depend closely on ions flux across cellular membrane, whose mechanism should have its natural resonant frequencies, we can hypothesize to plan new emerging wireless technology 5G at frequencies far from these resonant frequencies in order to minimize the effects of exposure to extremely high frequency electromagnetic fields, inducing a significant decreasing of harmful effects on human health. We have named these frequencies “non-resonant frequencies”.
