In an interview with MIA, the director of the Agency for Electronic Communications, Sasho Dimitrijoski, claims that the current 4G network has more non-ionizing radiation than the one to be installed, 5G. According to him, the 4G network is not so harmful, but the advanced 5G technology and even at maximum radiant energy has much less non-ionizing radiation.
“Until now, AKE has performed non-ionizing radiation measurement at several locations of Makedonski Telekom’s 5G test network, for which a temporary approval has been issued until 31.10.2020 for the interval 3.6-3.7 Mhz. The measurement was performed in a scenario of maximum radiated energy and the results show that from the maximum allowed level according to the International Commission for Protection against Ionizing Radiation, in this case, the cumulative radiation is 14.9 percent. In this percentage, 5G radiation participates with only 32 percent, unlike the radiation coming from 4G, which participates with 49 percent “, says Sasho Dimitrijoski, director of AKE, in an interview with the Macedonian Information Agency.
Because the measurement was made in the worst-case scenario, with maximum power dissipation, it is expected that under normal conditions, after a normal grid is set, there will be even lower non-ionizing radiation.
AKE is responsible for measuring non-ionizing radiation from all transmitters, and this means from the base stations of all existing technologies: 2G, 3G, and 4G. This means that even with the implementation of 5G AEK, it will continue to control the radiation level of this technology.
