Request
Due to the fact that the 5G testing is happening at this time do your offices have information as to where and when this testing is being done or do you only keep records of events already passed?
If so do you have any information as to where I would have to apply to get this information?
Due to the critical nature of the known adverse effects on the environment and human health this should be made public so that we have a choice to avoid these areas or not.
Would very much appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Response
The Government of Jersey are aware of testing being undertaken by at least two telecommunications companies here on Jersey.
There are a number of sites around Jersey where Global Systems for Mobile Communications (GSM) compliant technology is deployed, but we do not keep records of whether they are being used for 5G testing. The Government of Jersey does not hold any information about 5G testing schedules and keeps no records of tests.
You may wish to approach the local telecommunications companies directly should you require more information.
