GSMA Says 5G No Threat to Other Services

Claims that 5G will harm other services, including weather forecasting, are wrong, GSMA said. In the U.S, questions were raised in particular about the 24 GHz band (see 1906170023). “The mobile industry has already demonstrated within leading international standards bodies that 5G can be used safely alongside other services, including weather sensing services, commercial satellite, radar and other applications using adjacent airwaves,” said a Monday news release: “The GSMA is confident that 5G services and weather sensing services can co-exist, and warns against giving credence to those claiming a negative impact from 5G networks on weather forecasting data.”
