➡️According to the study, presented at the 2020 IEEE 5G World Forum, fifth-generation cellular wireless technology (5G) stems from new, smarter ways to use the higher (mmWave) frequencies for mobile communications.
➡️This technology will revolutionize internet communication and telecommunication. It has faster connection times, increases the number of devices that can connect to a network and will be more widely available over the next two to three years, according to the researchers.
➡️The Rutgers study used computer modeling to examine the impact of 5G "leakage" - unintended radiation from a transmitter into an adjacent frequency band or channel - on forecasting the deadly 2008 Super Tuesday Tornado Outbreak in the South and Midwest.
➡️The signals from the 5G frequency bands potentially could leak into the band used by weather sensors on satellites that measure the amount of #watervapour in the atmosphere and affect weather forecasting and predictions.
➡️Based on modeling, 5G leakage power of -15 to -20 decibel Watts affected the accuracy of forecasting of precipitation during the tornado outbreak and temperatures near ground level.
Meteorologists rely on satellites for the data needed to forecast weather.
