On June 20, 2016, three years ago, the U.S. Federal Communications Committee announced the start of the “race” to develop 5G technology. Shortly after the release of the new technology, Service Provider Strategies assured that by 2024 5G technology will generate 26% of revenues from wireless services. There are many voices that have been published and have stood against the problems that this technology is going to create.
A group of experts from physicians, scientists and ecologists has published a report that belies the negative aspects of 5G technology and launches a global scream to collect signatures to stop 5G implementation. This group explains in its report that the technology that will be based on soil or space will greatly increase exposure to irradiation. “The implementation of this new technology will bring unprecedented climate change. The density of radio frequency emitters needed for the technology to function properly is still unknown. Millions of 5G emissions will be installed on Earth in the first few years and 20,000 new satellites will be sent to space,” he said.
Millimeter waves of data transmission using 5G technology are used, which are waves that are mistransmitted through solids, which will cause there to be a 5G emitter every 100 meters. Antennas from previous generations of the Internet propagated the signal in a large space, causing less irradiation. Therefore, with this new generation, the base data transmission stations will have 100 times more power than at present, with the consequent impact on health.
The group of experts has confirmed that there are more than 10,000 studies demonstrating the effects of radiofrequencies on health: altered genes, alterations in metabolism, cancers, DNA damage, increased free radicals… This group concludes the report explaining the qualitative and quantitative differences between 4G and 5G technologies and calls for a ban on new technology.
Request for a prohibition
Academics and experts have signed the international request to ban 5G technology: South African anthropologist Lauraine Margaret Helen Vivian, Australian researcher Don Maisch, Indian engineer Girish Kumar, Colombian expert Carlos Sosa… but among them, the most striking is Mateusz Morawiecki, Prime Minister of Poland. The Prime Minister has signed the contract for the use of 5G in Poland by the Polish cities of Warsaw, Gliwice and Lodz. This may involve the signing of more politicians and institutions, as well as international institutions.
Cold War II?
American computer engineer and architect Nicholas Negroponte has stated in an interview published today by the Spanish newspaper El País that 5G technology is not going to be so revolutionary. However, Nagrúbal says that the United States ceased to be the first country in the technological sector fifteen years ago: “The main players are no longer American companies. I am particularly surprised by the sudden interest in 5G and Huawei, because 5G is not as important as they sell us,” he said.
He said that the real change was 3G and that the technology that will shape the future will be nuclear fusion: “If someone dominates nuclear fusion, the rules of the game will change. 5Ga will not be revolutionary. And if we look at what China does in the 5G field, among other things, we see it's way ahead with the United States."
