Shared category, different systems
Wi-Fi and cellular networks both use RF energy to carry information. Different bands, antennas, protocols and power-control systems produce different exposure patterns.
5G in context
5G can use bands also used by earlier systems plus, in some deployments, higher-frequency millimeter-wave bands. Higher frequency does not mean ionizing radiation; ionizing energy is far higher on the spectrum.
Phone exposure
A phone can be a more important personal RF source than a distant base station because it can operate close to the body. Modern networks dynamically control power, so actual exposure varies.
What regulators say
FDA says the weight of scientific evidence has not linked cell-phone RF radiation with health problems. WHO likewise states that adverse health effects from ordinary low-level exposure have not been confirmed.
Practical preference
If you still prefer lower personal exposure, distance and reduced unnecessary use are straightforward options that do not require accepting a claim that normal compliant exposure is dangerous.
