The U.S. federal communications commission (FCC) and other national agencies have begun auctioning 23.8 GHz and adjacent frequency bands to future 5G network providers, Taiwan media said, highlighting the promptency of the problem. In addition, the U.S. government is auctioning the 36 to 37 GHz band for studying rainfall and snowfall, the 50 GHz band for measurement temperature, and the 86} to 92 GHz band už analizavimas debesys ir ledas.
The national oceanic and atmospheric administration (NOAA) and the national aeronautics and space administration (NASA) have held discussions with the FCC about protecting weather satellites, but the FCC will continue to auction the spectrum to future 5G network providers.
In response, weather experts have criticized the us move for affecting its ability to collect data, telecoms operators raiding radio wavelengths, regulators failing to protect natural frequencies vital to earth observations and making it hard for experts to lobby other countries to limit critical frequencies .
As 5G tinklai naudojimas dažniai arti prie tie naudojami for meteorologiniai stebėjimai, 5G galėtų grasinti žmogaus saugumas pagal trukdantys su orais palydovais ir paveikus the gebėjimas numatyti audras, meteorologai turi perspėjo.
Meteorologai worry that the frequency band used in 5G networks could undermine important satellite observations. Satellite equipment can be used to observe the atmosphere and research variables such as water vapor, rain, snow, clouds and ice content, all of which are key factors affecting the weather.
Such information is crucial to forecasting, said ECMWF expert Paul Borman. "it is a natural resource," he said. Experts would be unable to distinguish the signals, compromisming the accuracy of the predictions.
"This is the first time I've seen our weather bands threated, and I think whatever happens, we absolutely have to protect them," added English, another meteorologist at the center.
It lieka to be seen ar other countries will follow the United States in selling the spectrum in the coming months, the report said.
