IEEE Spokane is proud to augment its co-sponsorship of the upcoming community 5G Wireless Forum to be held on Thursday February 27 starting at 4 PM in the Gonzaga University Hemmingson Auditorium. The forum will feature a presentation by IEEE Fellow and electromagnetics specialist, Dr Robert Olsen. This talk will present a balanced discussion of the new 5G wireless landscape, together with current widely discussed health issues in the 5G area. The talk, as a continuation of the ongoing IEEE Spokane series in RF technology, will include an informative profile of the technology itself, as well as an up-to-date discussion of work on related safety standards, including the recent considerations of the 28-member International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) Scientific Expert Group.
