They are much faster than 4G networks, they also operate on a
much higher spectrum (up to 6 GHz), which results in a signal
that can’t go much further than 100 meters and cannot be
positioned higher than 50 ft. above the ground.
Because of shortened range, it is estimated that approximately
100 to 350 small cells per square kilometer will be needed in
areas that require 5G densification, further necessitating the
construction of brand new cell sites, or, at the very least,
cell site upgrades.
5G is radio
technology and there is no relationship between virus
and radio waves.
