**Fatshimétrie: 5G Technology Revolutionizes Egypt**
5G technology is set to radically transform the way we interact with technology and impact many sectors such as industry, healthcare, education, and transportation. But what about the impact of 5G on Egypt?
Egypt has chosen to seize the opportunities offered by 5G by awarding mobile licenses to three major operators, Etisalat, Orange, and Vodafone. Each company was awarded a license for $150 million, accompanied by a $75 million fee to renew their previous generation licenses for a period of 15 years without obtaining new frequency bands.
Additionally, the Egyptian state-owned telecommunications company, WE, acquired a 5G mobile license in January of the previous year for $150 million, valid for 15 years. These operators are expected to launch their services in the Egyptian market within the next six months, depending on the licenses obtained.
The debate over the possible health risks associated with 5G technology is raging, with some going so far as to claim that it could cause cancer. However, Professor of Oncological Surgery at the National Cancer Institute, Tarek Al-Barady, said that there is no credible scientific evidence linking 5G network technology to cancer.
He stressed that public health concerns about 5G are not based on proven scientific facts. According to him, all research conducted so far has not found a direct link between modern communication technologies and harmful effects on human health, including cancer.
To ensure health safety when using radiation-emitting devices, it is essential to strictly adhere to technical specifications and internationally recognized standards. These standards set safe limits for the levels of radiation that devices can emit, to ensure that they do not cause harm to users.
The frequencies used by 5G are in a low, non-ionising energy and frequency range that does not affect or damage DNA, unlike ionising radiation such as X-rays and radon, which can damage DNA and increase the risk of cancer.
Overall, the available scientific evidence does not strongly support concerns about a possible link between 5G and cancer. The radio frequencies associated with 5G technology can be considered unlikely to cause cancer, whether through mobile phone use or otherwise.
5G technology has many advantages over previous generations. It offers much higher speeds, improves connection quality, reduces latency for rapid response to applications and devices, and supports a large number of connected devices, thus promoting the rise of the Internet of Things.
In conclusion, 5G technology opens the way to new development and innovation opportunities for businesses by enabling the deployment of autonomous cars, the creation of connected factories, the use of virtual and augmented reality, as well as real-time data processing for high-performance applications.
In Egypt, 5G marks the beginning of an era of unprecedented technological progress and economic opportunities.
