Picture: A Newer Style Phone Mast [5G?]

I've been seeing these newer types of phone masts popping up for a while now. Is this 5G? I don't know for sure, but when I had a look on the Nperf mapping system, which shows where 5G is live all around the world. This location [first picture], which is Chester Road on the edge of Castle Vale Estate, Birmingham, UK shows as active on the map [highlighted purple]. Newport road also, which is practically part of Chester Road as they are joined.

This mast is situated on a public pathway. Whoever needs to walk this way, and this is a busy area, especially for people travelling to work on foot and on bikes [lots of businesses / industrial estates down this way, including Jaguar Land Rover]. Unless people are on the opposite side of the road, they must pass directly underneath this mast.

I presume this is a 5G tower. I've also seen this type of mast sometimes accompanied by a white or black pole, which is also a phone mast of some kind. I think I have a picture of that somewhere as well, so will add it to this post if I can find it. These newer style masts [see an older one] appear to have a protective thin metal, almost mesh-like covering all the way around the top. Is this to give the mast some added security due to a lot of masts getting attacked and burnt down over the last few years. It could also be to prevent birds from damaging them. I'm not sure.

A pair of very different looking masts very close together in Castle Bromwich, Birmingham.

If you want to look at your location to see how far or close you are away from 5G, take a look at the Nperf map system. Apparently its very accurate. There's also options to search for 3G and 4G coverage. For 5G, I believe the deeper the purple is on the map, the stronger the connection.

Phone Mast Or Beacon Booster Tower

Is this a phone mast or some other kind of cellphone / beacon tower. It's very different in appearance compared to an average looking phone mast with lots of different signal booster / receivers (or whatever there called) at the top. Take a look at one here. This one only has two square receivers on the top, and is much taller. Is it even for mobile phones.. Could it be something for boosting the digital TV signal. Who knows. Know what its for? Comment below.

Phone Mast

Picture taken with my old Samsung UCA5. Are phone masts / phone towers dangerous like some people think? They are popping up everywhere these days..Do all those signals bouncing back and forth have a negative effect on human health.

I think they do. I myself have experienced some kind of mild radiation poisoning when I was under / near one of these towers for too long. For days after my head was aching and I had really itchy eyes. I just didn't feel good. I've seen some that are right next to residential areas. And even slap bang next to houses and flats, which is now very common in 2022. I think that is terrible. A huge disregard for human health. These things should not be near anyone or anything. None in an built up areas. They should be far away in fields or woods, away from cities, towns and civilization as a whole.
