New Yorkers freak out over secret 5G installation

More and more New Yorkers are beginning to notice the ominous,
three-story-tall 5G towers that are invading their neighborhoods and
emitting radiation just outside their bedroom windows.
Back in January of 2020, New York City leaders approved an
"equitable expansion of 5G mobile service" to the five boroughs.
Jessica Tisch, former Commissioner for the Department of Information
Technology and Telecommunications, announced that the city had
reached franchise agreements with ten companies to install 5G
antennae on street poles city-wide.
"Goodbye high latency slow downloads and hello low latency high
speed with ultra-reliable connections," said Upper East Side Council
Member Ben Kallos. "New York City is the fastest paced city in the
world and if we want to keep that title, we need the fastest wireless
with 5G, and we need it now," he said.
Now residents are getting to experience the true cost of this 5G
high-speed internet. The 5G transmission equipment is being brought
into the neighborhoods and is getting installed right on top of the
streetlights, all within ten feet of where people work and play. The
equipment is not only an eye-sore, but it is also a health hazard. The
new equipment includes a radio frequency radiation warning, and this
is bothering many New Yorkers, who may sleep or work within ten
feet of these new transmitters.
Residents of one New York neighborhood are complaining about
a new installation on East 90th Street. The transmission equipment
was installed on top of a streetlight next to a co-op building that
includes over 300 units. Some residents live and sleep within ten
feet of the ominous tower.
"The only notification that we received was that the streetlight was
being repaired," said Chelsea, a co-op resident at Gracie Gardens.
"There are over 300 units in our building and we're all against this
antenna," she added. The transmission hardware was recently
installed on October 1, 2022. It includes a large grey cylinder and
a separate grey box attached to the streetlight. The transmission
equipment is only nine feet from the nearest building.
"It's less than 10 feet from my five-month-old son's nursery, and
it's less than 10 feet from a resident in our building's home with
a pacemaker," Chelsea says. "He contacted the medical device
company and was advised to stay nine feet away from the pole
at all times," she added.
The 5G equipment is right outside Virginie Glaenzer's living room
window. She lives on the co-op's third floor. She is up high enough
to read the sticker on top of the transmitter box. The sticker says
"careful" and warns about radio frequency radiation. She says the
sticker on top of the box was removed when residents brought
attention to it.
"The funny thing is that there was a sticker on top of that box that
says careful," Glaenzer told Upper East Site. "Someone came and
they removed the sticker."
"What stories are they telling themselves at the executive level
- to put a pole and be the one signing off and saying, ‘yeah, 10
feet, it's fine," Ms. Glaenzer questioned.
"[Residents] were told that [the technicians] were only there to
take the sticker down," Chelsea explained, "So they came and they
took the sticker down, and that's it." There was no advanced warning
about the installation of 5G, and now all information regarding its
risks have been removed.
The residents at Gracie Gardens spoke with City Council Member
Julie Menin about relocating the ExteNet-owned antenna. Julie Menin
has taken residents' concerns up with the agency responsible - the
Office of Technology and Innovation. So far, no agreements have been
made. Right now, residents Virginie Glaenzer and Chelsea Formica
are asking others to send a letter to city officials, with evidence
to support the removal of the transmitter equipment.
In the US, regulations surrounding experimental 5G antennae are
scant. So far, the demand for high-speed internet has trumped all
the science about the risk of radiation exposure.
