5G Network Not Hazardous, To Be Deployed In 2021 - NCC Says

The Nigerian Communications Commission says the trial of the fifth generation cellular network shows that there is no health hazard related to using the technology.

The fee in a draft session report on Deployment of Fifth Generation Mobile Technology in Nigeria posted on Monday stated that the trial became carried out in six cities – Abuja, Lagos, Ibadan, Abeokuta, Kano and Calabar.

The regulatory frame said the checks had been performed according with the 1998 International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection recommendations for fashionable public exposure to various electromagnetic fields, which had been in force at the time of the pains.

It said the effects of EMF radiation indicated that the best radiation at 26 GHz millimeter wave at 5m far from supply was four.3 in keeping with cent and at 30m from the source become 0.14 according to cent.

It introduced that the highest radiation at three.5 GHz at 5m faraway from the supply became 11.Four according to cent and at 30m away from the supply become 1.Nine in step with cent of ICNIRP specification of 61 v/m for frequency range 2-three hundred GHz.
These effects are far below the ICNIRP specification for safety of contributors of the public within the Guidelines and therefore advise that no public health hazards are anticipated from using 5G in Nigeria,” the NCC stated.

The telecoms regulator said that the deployment of the brand new network inside the country might be accomplished in two phases.

It stated the segment one, which involves deployment primarily based at the non-standalone method, could commence in 2021.

According to the NCC, the phase two based at the stand-alone approach, which is based on new spectrum allocations, will begin in 2022.

“The present day race to installation 5G networks is centered at providing residents with the blessings of the technology even as at the same time permitting the activation of the digital economy,” it stated.

The telecoms regulator said that the deployment of the brand new community in the us of a might be achieved in two stages.

It stated the segment one, which entails deployment primarily based at the non-standalone method, would begin in 2021.

According to the NCC, the segment two based at the stand-alone approach, which relies on new spectrum allocations, will begin in 2022.

“The modern-day race to install 5G networks is targeted at offering residents with the benefits of the generation while on the same time enabling the activation of the virtual economy,” it stated.

The regulatory body stated ‘5G community deployment will depend on the provision of sufficient radio spectrum on the low, medium and high-frequency bands to provide for the specific use cases and programs’.

“While a number of those frequencies can be newly assigned for 5G community deployment, others will must be re-farmed from other existing verbal exchange services,” it delivered.

The fee stated 24.25-27.5 GHz, 37-forty three.Five GHz, forty five.5-forty seven GHz, 47.2-48.2 GHz, and sixty six-71 GHz had been globally regarded spectrum bands for 5G deployment.

It said the bands had been to be had and no longer assigned to operators at the moment except the 26 GHz band, where an operator presently had an undertaking of two slots of 2 X 28 MHz every in the old plan.

The enterprise regulator promised that the operator might be vacated and the band licensed based on the new TDD plan.
