FM5 Path 5G Monitor

Like many of us, you are concerned about the rollout of 5G technology. Let us have a look at whether you should be concerned, and if so, how you can monitor the new 5G signals and ensure that these are not a problem for you and your family.

The 5G mobile connectivity that is available now in most places is what the industry refers to as 4.5G. It is deployed in a comparable way to 2g, 3g and 4g. Most high frequency EMF monitors, including our own FM5 Path Basic, will measure these signals as they are all below 10GHz, and are of the type that we have been monitoring for the last 20 years or so. However, the emerging 5G connectivity to support technology such as the Internet of Things, Artificial Intelligence and much more, requires a high-speed internet connectivity which has introduced a new form of wireless signal now known as the millimetre wave. This signal emits new and different forms of microwave radiation and needs a new monitor to read it.

Until now, it has not been possible with a handheld EMF monitor to measure millimetre wave 5G. Fortunately after almost 2 years of development with our UK partner, we at EMF protection have succeeded in producing the FM5 Path and FM5 Complete, which have the ability not just to measure all the old wireless technologies, but the signal range that covers the ongoing 5G millimetre wave roll out at the time of purchase. The FM5 Path is called the FM5 “Path” because unlike any other HF monitor available today it has a future path antenna slot available. This allows for an upgradeable measurement capability alongside the industry’s technology path, as new signals are deployed in the future. Enabling you to upgrade your scalable HF EMF monitor to the relevant frequency antennae. Thus, the FM5 Path makes older static style EMF monitors redundant.
