Self-driving cars. Robotic surgeries. Toothbrushes that detect when you’re sick. This is the future 5G technology promises in less than a decade’s time; internet connections so fast they’ll support an entirely new way of life. But for now, I’m standing on an avenue in downtown Chicago waving my Samsung Galaxy 5G smartphone around to find coverage that’s not blocked by the tree to my left. I finally take a few steps back from the lamppost, adorned by a hard-to-miss, clunky black antenna, and bam, my Netflix download begins: a complete download of a two-hour film in less than 10 seconds…

Getty ImagesAs 5G mobile networks begin to roll out in several UK cities, questions are being raised about whether the new technology poses health risks.So what are the concerns, and is there evidence to back them up?What’s different about 5G?Like previous cellular technology, 5G networks rely on signals carried by radio waves (part of the electromagnetic spectrum) that are transmitted between antennas, or masts, and mobile phones.We are constantly surrounded by electromagnetic radiation, not only from television and radio signals but also from a variety of technologies, including cell phones, and natural sources such as sunlight.5G uses higher frequency radio…
NEW YORK (AP) — The much-hyped network upgrade called “5G” means different things to different people.To industry proponents, this is the next big innovation in wireless Internet. For the U.S. government, it’s a key technology of the future that the U.S. will compete with China for control of. For many ordinary people, it is just a mystery.The technology is one of the topics expected to take center stage at the MWC mobile conference in Barcelona, Spain this month. The interest is not limited to engineers. There are concerns in Washington that China will take the lead in technology development and…
If there is one main driver pushing 5G networks for mobile communications into commercialization, it is likely the need for more radio spectrum. To achieve the increased spectrum, 5G networks use millimeter wave spectrum, or radio spectrum above 6 gigahertz. This certainly expands the number of frequencies that these networks can access, but at the cost of making the signal less effective at passing through buildings and other obstacles.Overcoming this drawback is the job of directional phased array antennas, one of the key enabling technologies for 5G networks. In other words, it electronically directs radio waves in the desired direction.…
This article is part of How Hacking Works, Motherboard’s guide to demystifying information security. In popular media, hackers are often portrayed as an elite cabal of ski mask aficionados and computer experts that can keyboard mash their way into any digital device. But what if I told you that you can also pwn almost any internet connected device around you, even if you can’t tell an SSL from an SSID? Videos by VICE Yes, my friend, the device you are looking for is a Wi-Fi Pineapple, which can turn anyone from hack to hacker for the low, low price of…
