These days, false information are shared on the social media that Makedonski Telekom has activated the test 5G network and that it has a negative impact on citizens' health.

Without any evidence and facts and by sharing fake news and old media articles from 2018 and 2019 put in the wrong context, it creates a false and negative campaign about the 5G network and spreads unnecessary panic in conditions when we need to stay calm.

Makedonski Telekom most responsibly claims that there is no 5G network in use. The competent institutions have not implemented any 5G frequency allocation procedure either.

Until now, the first demo has been made in 2018 and tests have been carried out on the operation of this new technology only in laboratory conditions and in a small, limited space in 2019. Therefore, all claims and attacks that mass testing across the country is currently underway are ungrounded.

5G is a new technological standard worldwide, and each country decides whether to implement 5G in accordance with a pre-standardized scientific methodology that should be followed by the operators, and monitored by the competent institutions.

As a competent institution, the AEC regularly conducts measurements for non-ionizing radiation. In December 2019, the AEC conducted testing of the 5G trial installation, and concluded that the total radiation in the limited 5G testing space was well below the maximum allowed limits (http://aek.mk/).

As a leader in new communication technologies, our goal is to bring the latest technologies to the benefit of citizens and the entire society, while observing all security steps in collaboration with the competent institutions and the state.

In a situation of global pandemic, our priority is to provide seamless communication through the existing infrastructure. Let’s not allow fake news and attacks create panic among the citizens.
