Gigahertz [GHz] Wavelength In Centimeters [cm] 5 GHz 5.99584916 cm 10 GHz 2.99792458 cm 20 GHz 1.49896229 cm 50 GHz 0.599584916 cm
I'm not sure I'd consider nearly 6cm at 5GHz to be "extreme precision". Extreme precision would put the radiated energy into the visible light spectrum, which we already have the ability to do. Also, windows provide and amazing view into interior spaces. The detail is incredible. You don't even need complex and expensive equipment to see through them.
Also once you get to the precision of visible light, you also get the blocking characteristics walls have on visible light.

Absolutely, but that's the cost of precision. This is part of the reason I'm not concerned with the technology. It just can't get past some of the physics limits to be the scary thing it is made out to be.
He said 5G, not 5 GHz. 5G is not a very precise term in this context since it refers to modulation and data encoding schemes, but it is used on several bands including up around 60 GHz.
Um, WiFi routers use either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz signals. The whole thing is based on commercial consumer routers and has nothing to do with 5G cellular communication technology. IRE is interchanging 5G and 5 GHz in my his comment. That's not what the article said at all. He added 5G when it is not applicable.
