Beirut will sell the Internet. An important event after 6 months!

"Lebanon will sell Internet" soon, according to the plan of the Minister of Communications Mohammed Choucair, writes Zainab Othman in the newspaper Al Akhbar. Nobody knows how, when and to whom it will be sold, and whether Cyprus looks forward to providing the "next cell phone revolution". But this "mystery", which seems to be a dream in a country where the rationing of electricity is 16 hours a day, could be obvious with the completion of the Viber Optic project, which will be operated in Lebanon " two years later, "Shakir said in an interview with a news agency. "Xinhua" Chinese late last May. At that time, he briefly outlined the details of the Internet and Communications Development Plan, which includes "five key objectives," including the $ 300 million fiber optic project and 5G technology. Both projects said that the Chinese technology company "Huawei" would be involved in the operation with a number of multinational companies. Perhaps the most important aspect of his remarks is the badertion that Beirut will test "5G" technology, particularly in key sectors such as ministries and shopping centers, before its official launch "shortly thereafter." ", pending the completion of his research on its health aspects. And their profitability. "

Talking about the health aspect calls for taking into account the global debate on the impact of 5G vibrations on public health. Risks that the minister's plan does not seem to notice, especially since the research that the department is supposed to have conducted has not yet been revealed.

Professor Zaher Dawi, a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at American University, explained that fifth-generation technology is working on "encrypting and transmitting data over radio waves at a supernatural speed. "may exceed the gigabyte rate per second. This is a speed at which a person can download long movies in Full HD and 4K in seconds. However, access to this speed requires "very high frequency millimeter waves" of about 28 GHz, that is, they belong to the "high frequency spectrum". (mmWave) that has not yet been used in commercial communications. And here is the problem. These waves can travel very short distances (closer coverage), not to mention the intensity of sensitivity and easily intercepted by any moving mbad, such as rain and the human body. These factors require the construction of a large number of converged communication towers in a narrow geographical area, with a small tower for 8 buildings according to global estimates. Zawi here shows his fear of building towers near residential complexes, regardless of sanitary considerations, including increased exposure of the population to electromagnetic (non-ionizing) waves, high voltage in Mansuriyah, pointing out at the same time the lack of control work, which "could end with Having built towers, build in its new buildings." The ministry has not yet announced the results of any of its research supposed to be related to health aspects. "
