American opposition to 5G has been ongoing for years due to various significant risks associated with it including aviation safety risks (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), cybersecurity risks (see 1, 2, 3, 4), environmental risks (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8), health risks (see 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10), privacy risks (see 1, 2, 3), weather forecasting satellite interference risks, and utility infrastructure interference risks.  In 2019, telecom executives gave U.S. congressional testimony that they had NO independent scientific evidence that 5G is safe.  Some researchers have also suggested that deployment may be contributing to COVID-19 infections and hundreds of thousands if not millions of bird deaths.  Of course, others say it's not.  Nevertheless, there are health risks associated with 5G exposure as well as exposure to 4G and other sources of wireless Wi-Fi radiation (see 1, 2) and Electromagnetic Fields (aka "Electrosmog").  In fact, last year, a federal court ruled in favor of organizations and petitioners that sued the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for NOT adequately protecting Americans from wireless radiation exposure (including 5G).  Nevertheless, the Biden Administration continues to promote and fund 5G and WiFi deployment and expansion (see 1, 2, 3) as does the Department of Defense (DoD).

DoD Helps 5G Smart Warehouse "Set Sail" at Coronado Naval Base

Last week, the Department of Defense (DoD) hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its 5G Smart Warehouse Network in Coronado, CA. According to a release, the 5G Smart Warehouse Network is located at Coronado's Naval Base and is part of the agency's 5G-Next G initiative. The project is the DoD's use-case incorporating 5G capabilities for trans-shipments between shore facilities and naval units.
