A rapid introduction of new 5G mobile radio standards in Switzerland is endangered according to the "NZZ on Sunday". Switzerland was because of the need for as many cell phone antennas, as there are already. "We assume that, without adjustment to the investment limits of around 15'000 additional mobile sites need to be built," said Christian Grasser, managing Director of the industry Association Asut, told the newspaper.
The existing plants were limits to their performance, because of the mobile data increases in consumption and the transmission power is not expected to increase due to more stringent radiation protection regulations. "Around two-thirds of the sites in Switzerland and more than 90 percent of the sites in cities and urban areas do not have sufficient reserves to 5G performance," said Grasser. He doubted, moreover, that it is within a useful period of time would be possible, in addition, needed new antennas.
