My understandings, beliefs:
- 5G is to work on MIMO principle with very many more 'towers' scattered around. Like on every other person's house.
- The technologies include beam forming and beam bouncing.
- In order to get around the regulatory issues associated with energy-per-unit-area, several techniques are used:
- average over a longer period of time (a common form of scientific fraud.)
- throw caution to the wind, the regulations in the trash, and don't bother with safety testing (so brags Tom Wheeler.)
The 'spec' is to operate on a wide range of frequencies up into the 80 Ghz ranges I mentioned. I think it is safe to assume that the hardware will be capable of operating in those frequency ranges if instructed to do so by code. The null hypothesis is also possible. That is, that they cannot meet the entire specification.
Again, if the device is 'hacked', it will run whatever code the 'hacker' inserts. I'm not sure if anyone has ever tried to get the circuitry (which is currently a bone of contention resulting in the U.S. vs. China Huawei kerfuffle) 'open' so that independent parties can evaluate it. I doubt that they would have much luck even if they did.
We can hope that the FCC is evaluating the hardware capabilities and software implementations with an eye toward public safety, but I think it is being to hopeful in light of the fact that the FCC chairman already said in no uncertain terms that the FCC doesn't give two fucks about safety are research, and that it is important to just let industry do what they do as fast as they can do it.
As it is hard to punch through walls at 50 Ghz, the power levels at a 'pulse' might be jacked up to a high level. As long as the pulse duration are a small fraction of total time, the total 'watts per square whatever' can be well within regulatory and 'assumed safe' levels if you crunch the numbers in a certain way.

When I crunched the number a while ago out of general interest, I did not see that the 100 Ghz wavelengths were in the 'atmospheric molecule' ranges, but maybe I did the maths wrong.
What I was trying to figure out was where these wavelengths in the range were the size ranges of the
amorphous aluminum hydroxyphosphate sulfate adjuvant which Merck uses in their Gardasil vaccines among others. They hold the patent.
The reason this interested me is because it is a scientific fact that these nano-size particles, when injected into the blood stream, cross the blood brain barrier and can cross the cell membrane into neurons themselves. Especially if the vaccine contains detergents which interfere with the lipid layers which make the blood-brain barrier effective. (An they do.)
I was just kinda interested because it seemed to me that 5G with it's EHF frequencies and high peak pulse power levels, might be able to have an impact on a brain which was full of nano-sized aluminum particles. I don't 'know' one way or another, but it seems highly plausible at the very least.
