![]() Even higher frequencies (in the millimetre wave range – which begins at 30 GHz) could be added later. The initial frequencies being considered by the government are around 24-28 GHz. The companies want to use “small cells” that produce very high frequency microwave range radiation in urban areas. This is a form of microwave radiation that is also known as “C-band” frequencies. In towns and cities, the government is considering the use of frequencies in the range of 3400MHz up to about 3800MHz. Technical information: The companies plan to use different frequencies for different types of locations. (Fibre optic cables may also be used to connect 5G cell sites.) The major telecommunications companies in NZ (Spark, Vodafone and 2 Degrees) each want to build their own 5G network. Facts about 5G… The 5G system proposed for NZ is a wireless system in which the telecommunications companies want to use microwaves and millimetre wave radiation. Telecommunications companies are promoting this new system as offering faster wireless download speeds …but is faster data access worth the potential risks of this technology? Please read the information below to decide for yourself. Website editor’s note: 5G is still at the testing stage in NZ.
