5G tech safe, concerns around health consequences misplaced: COAI
The Hindu
COAI’s Director General S.P. Kochhar said “it puts to rest motivated rumour mongering that was doing the rounds” and would set the pace for others to “desist from such misadventures”
Industry body Cellular Operators’ Association of India (COAI) has said that any concern around adverse impact of 5G on health is “totally misplaced”, and all evidence available supports that the next-generation technology is safe. The COAI asserted that 5G would prove to be a “game changer” and lead to “exponential increase in benefits” for the economy and society. The association — which represents large telcos like Reliance Jio, Bharti Airtel and Vodafone Idea — argued that India already has strict norms in place and prescribed standards for electromagnetic radiation limit in telecom sector is far more stringent than global-accepted standards.More Related News
