One question is regarding the use of the term towers. Did the county deny all installations of 5G transmitters into the carrier’s network, or did they just deny any new tower construction permits? Typically the majority of 5G transmitters will not go on towers. They will go on buildings, existing signage, light or utility poles, inside stadiums, performing arts centers, essentially a myriad of places as the characteristics of 5G frequency are not conducive for long distance transmissions. In otherwords, it takes a lot of network resources/base stations to implement an effective 5G network due to frequency characteristics. A minority will go on stereotypical towers. If the phone is 5G capable and it receives any 5G frequencies/network information, the phone will respond or transmit its received signal characteristics back to the network. A network base station controller will decide which network base transmitter/receiver the mobile will register on. As long as the mobile can receive some form of 5G, or any other normal cell frequency, it will continually send network mobility management reports back to the network to establish the best connection. These mobility management messages are continually sent in both idle and in call situations. Kind of interesting, but the power control on the mobile phone will increase as the signal characteristics from the network base station transmitter become weaker. In otherwords, the further away from the base transmitter, typically the higher transmit output from the phone, and the phone becomes more of a radiation concern than the network base station. The “towers” are not the only concern, as the phone must be considered part of the network as well.

If you are in a 5G dead area, the device will not perform these 5G transmissions but will perform these same type of registration and mobility messaging transmissions for the 4G network, naturally on the existing 4G frequencies (assuming there is 4G coverage). Much of the 5G implementation for certain carriers is using these existing 4G frequencies, but not achieving the data throughput that full 5G will achieve. I assume you are not concerned with the use of 4G frequencies for 5G.

If you are concerned about 5G, and reside in a 5G coverage area, you should be just as concerned about the mobile phone as the network base stations, maybe more so. You carry the phone transmitter everywhere you go.
