Can someone help me understand what is usually meant by "systems" as in "A systems approach"?

#12Don't you think, that 5g is stupid idea, if masts have to by every, 200 - 300? meters, it will be terribly ugly, and how it's suppose to work in farms?
In the densest cities you want a mast every 200 meters anyway, and the more bandwidth you can get from those masts the better. It is all in the name of serving the large number of people in those areas. High frequency serves this niche well.
In rural areas you don't have very many people to serve. You would still like a mast every 200 meters, but it isn't cost effective (the one farmer who would use it every couple months wouldn't like to steer their tractor around it) so you compromise bandwidth for lower frequencies.

4G and often 3G don't work in many rural areas. I expect 5G will follow the trend and be concentrated in high population areas, at least to begin with. I think 5G will mostly be in cities, with antennas on buildings. Masts aren't really practical for the network density required. I imagine as you exit a city you'll have the older infrastructure.
Rural areas are getting 4g. 3g is common, and 2g is even being turned off in some places. 5g will start coming to rural areas soon as some of the options make it more suited to rural areas than 4g. In 10 years we will probably be talking about 6g...

#14As someone new to the 5G world I'm hearing a lot about health concerns. Can someone please explain to me the actual health concerns? My GF has been talking about it for a while now, but when I looked up health related studies of 5G on google scholar - I didn't get any meaningful hits. Is it a tin foil thing or are there really some concerns?

It's a tin foil hat thing. It's just wireless frequencies -- which may have some minor impact but it wouldn't be any different to 4G or 3G really and you can see that tech came and hasn't caused any major health issues.

Unfortunately, a statement like that, has just as much value as the conspiracy theory. Since 5G is a vastly different technology, the only thing we can say for certain is that we don't know the health risks at this point.

No. 2.4 GHz is in use, as is 5 GHz. Now suddenly 3.4 GHz is a problem?

Vastly different how?

I think in this context, it is meant to describe how the underlying hardware AND software work together and to describe the potential cloud (public or private) opportunities of both.

I think one of the concerns is in the past a cell tower would cover a large area and thus not many people were close to them.
Now with 5G towers and their much shorter range people are finding these all over the place, in cities on nearly every block and thus many more people are much closer to the towers than before.
