Recently, we discussed the issues affecting 5G technology platforms in the United States, from the user's perspective. Faster links are expected to boost productivity and enable better services in the future, but there is a group of professionals who are not happy with 5G: meteorologists. They warn that they will not be able to separate Earth observation and atmospheric radiation due to 5G interference.
5G is on its way. Sooner or later, well or badly, partially… but it's on its way. The promise is enormous, and so are the goals: mobile connections that will leave traditional connections in the dust, new services capable of making the most of that speed... the list goes on. The last thing one would imagine at this point is that 5G causes problems for other professionals... however, there is great concern among meteorologists.
At the last World Radiocommunication Conference held in Egypt, delegates voted in favor of creating a new international standard that is more 'relaxed' regarding interference limits from 5G. One of the biggest conflicts lies in the 24 GHz band. Telecommunications companies insist they need to use those frequencies, but meteorologists use them to study water vapor. If 5G proves to be as 'noisy' as they believe, they will not be able to separate its effects from natural signals.
In fact, some local authorities have decided to contact their representatives directly to study the situation more closely. In early December, two senior members of the United States House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology sent a letter to the U.S. Comptroller General Gene Dodaro, expressing their 'deep concern' about the 'potential for degradation' that the country could suffer due to interference in the electromagnetic spectrum.

The space agency indicated that the interference limits proposed by the FCC could cause a 77 percent loss of data in its passive microwave probes, equivalent to a 30 percent degradation in weather prediction.
Personally, I believe that all parties involved will eventually negotiate new interference limits, thus ensuring some coexistence between the new 5G platforms and modern meteorological services. However, that doesn't mean the process will be easy. There is a lot of money at stake on both sides of the fence.
