BERN: Thousands of people protested in the Swiss capital Bern Saturday over the roll-out of a 5G wireless technology across the country, which they fear could damage people's health.
The tiny principality of Monaco became the first country in Europe to inaugurate a 5G mobile phone network in July based on technology from Chinese firm Huawei, which is seen by the US as a major security risk. Online petitions have helped persuade several Swiss cantons - in Geneva, Vaud, Fribourg and Neuchatel - to postpone the construction of antennae as a precaution.The Swiss Federation of Doctors has also argued for a cautious approach to the new technology.
In February, Switzerland attributed 5G frequencies to three major operators, Swisscom, Sunrise and Salt, and the operators have been pushing the cutting-edge technology in television advertisements and on billboards.
