The Swiss government has announced its intention to create a monitoring system that will reduce the level of concern among part of the country's population who believe that the frequencies used in the operation of fifth generation communication networks may have a negative impact on health.
The Swiss Cabinet of Ministers agreed to carry out work to measure the level of non-ionizing radiation. They will be carried out by employees of the local environmental organization. In addition, experts will assess possible risks and regularly inform the public about the conclusions made.
This step became necessary due to the fact that some regions of the country are preventing permission to use new antennas, which are necessary for building 5G networks. In turn, local telecom operators are seeking to accelerate the adoption of 5G networks, hoping to gain a number of benefits in the future. First of all, the deployment of fifth-generation communication networks will accelerate the development of the Internet of Things and give impetus towards autonomous transport.
Statistics show that more than half of Swiss people are concerned about radiation from 5G antennas, which could theoretically have a negative impact on health.
