President Donald Trump says the race to build 5G is one America must win.
Trump said Friday at the White House that building high-speed networks across the United States will transform the way Americans work, learn, communicate and travel.
5G will mean faster wireless speeds and has implications for technologies like self-driving cars and augmented reality.
The rollout started last week in the U.S. and South Korea but will take years.
Trump says, “We must not rest. The race is far from over.”

Radiation concerns halt Brussels 5G development, for now

“I cannot welcome such technology if the radiation standards, which must protect the citizen, are not respected, 5G or not,” Environment minister Céline Fremault (CDH) told Bruzz. “The people of Brussels are not guinea pigs whose health I can sell at a profit. We cannot leave anything to doubt,” she added.
A pilot project is not feasible with the current radiation standards, and Fremault told Bruzz that she does not intend to make an exception.
The Brussels region has particularly strict radiation standards for telecom applications. The standard of 6 volts per metre has already led to problems in the past with providing fast mobile internet via 4G in the capital.
Last week, the various governments in Belgium once again failed to reach agreement on the auctioning of the 5G licences. The file remains stuck on the distribution of the proceeds. It will be up to the next government to handle the proposal, said Telecom Minister Philippe De Backer (Open VLD) last week.
