But neither truly discredit the idea that satellites could at some point be affected; speaking in 'could' 'likely' 'may' terms.

 

 

There are already huge numbers of devices using 24GHz frequencies globally.

 

Here in New Zealand Vodafone already use 24GHz extensively, and have done so for many years. There would also be literally hundreds (if not thousands) of radio links in New Zealand using 24GHz ISM frequencies. Maybe somebody should ask NIWA what impact the existing use of these frequencies has on their ability to detect water vapour?

 

You're also talking about a *very* specific frequency, 23.8GHz. Issues could simply be avoided by not allowing this small section of the mmWave band to be used. Situation avoided. Simple.

 

I get it, and I'm not saying you're wrong. Just asking for links to resources to break down the science & data further so I can understand it better. My current understanding is that if devices emit at their intended frequencies without leaking too far into adjacent channels, then all should be well. I'd like to think that if NASA, NOAA, US Navy and NIWA think there *could* be an issue, then maybe there would be resources that either corroborate or invalidate those claims given they are meant to be the experts - no offense.
