"Since 5G originates from towers, the distance covered is many, many, many times greater -- which would be why there are some concerned pilots."
Higher frequency is the inverse of distance traveled. It requires more power to transmit higher frequencies. Therefore, 5G requires many more times the towers (repeaters) than currently present.
