2019-05-17 | 5G Networks Could Throw Weather Forecasting Into Chaos | WIRED
'On Capitol Hill Thursday, NOAA’s acting chief, Neil Jacobs, said that interference from 5G wireless phones could reduce the accuracy of forecasts by 30 percent. '
'That’s the question facing federal officials as they decide whether to auction off more of the wireless spectrum or heed meteorologists who say that such a move could throw US weather forecasting into chaos. ', " The FCC's 5G auction has reaped nearly $2 billion from both small and large wireless providers and is still underway."
'If you had a choice between a better, faster cell phone signal and an accurate weather forecast, which would you pick?'
'That’s because water vapor emits a faint signal in the atmosphere at a frequency (23.8 GHz) that is extremely close to the one sold for next-generation 5G wireless communications (24 GHz). '
