Could Small Cell Technology Affect Real Estate Property Values Negatively?

EMF in Real Estate

According to certain real estate analyses, the implementation of 5G technology has the potential to impede or potentially reverse some of the positive trends in home value that homeowners are currently experiencing. The technology behind small cell phone towers is founded on novel, significantly shorter microwave wavelengths that have not been previously employed in cellular communication. Differing from conventional cell phone technology, these waves exhibit a pulsed nature, have limited propagation distances, possess higher directionality, and are more susceptible to obstruction by structures and vegetation. Consequently, the effective operation of these systems necessitates the deployment of a significantly larger number of transmitting devices, situated much closer to residential areas. According to two separate estimates, an additional 250,000 to 330,000 new "mini-cell phone towers" will need to be installed across the…
