There is concern that current shielding materials (like foil, paint or fabric) will not work for 5G signals. Then what?
After basic exploration, if you live in an urban or suburban environment, it will probably be advisable to undergo some shielding for EMF (electromagnetic fields including radiofrequency or digital pollution) with a bed canopy to reduce stress on your body for the significant amount of time you spend in bed sleeping and regenerating.
First, let’s talk about what 5G is.
Millimeter waves are only part of the infrastructure of 5G. 5G means 5th generation technology standard for broadband networks and relies on the existing 4G network and bandwidths and on deployment of many 4G LTE small cell antennas.
The 5G proposed spectrum includes both sub-6GHz and millimeter wave above 24 GHz. It includes the “low” and “mid” band below 6 GHz and “high” bands well above 6 GHz. Some say 90%+ of cell data for most subscribers will still be delivered through the 4G LTE network when 5G is deployed. Industry confirms “4G is the foundation for 5G.”
Remember: the strength of the 4G LTE signal entering your body and into those around you from the cell phone, laptop or table that you hold, even at arm’s length, is stronger than any 4G or 5G signal entering your home from an outside antenna.
Remember: 5G signals include sub-6GHz 4G LTE signals. The 5G rollout includes densification of 4G LTE antennas closer to home. So all of these materials are still very relevant and will continue to be important and work: shielding with 2 coats of RF shielding paint (Y-Shield, CuPro-Cote or Ecos EMR Shielding Paint); a layer of copper mesh foil (Cuprotect); aluminum mesh (Signal Protect AM2); aluminum building foil (RF-Shielding Foil); windows with sheer film; metal-mesh insect screen and fabric. (There is a discount code HB5 for safelivingtechnologies shielding products.)
Some of these products also work for super 20 GHz signals. Cementitious materials like stucco on outer walls are also protective.
Trevor Marshall, PhD says “window film works the same at microwave (sub-6 GHz) and millimeter (super-20 GHz) frequencies, as the reflecting particles are very close together. Similarly, the sheet metals reflect just as well.”
Shielding canopies incorporating silver threads may have reduced shielding ability by the 24 GHz and 38 GHz frequencies. However, they are still effective to some degree here and necessary to shield the lower frequencies. Manufacturers of the fabrics intend to improve their abilities to block these higher frequencies, but at the moment it will protect you and your family. In general, the Naturell canopy with floor sheet blocks over 99% of radiofrequency pollution when correctly installed.
