Does 5G use the same engineering that used behind a weapon?

5G is the fifth generation of wireless data/resource sharing technology and it is becoming more popular for its conspiracy unlike the 4G or previous technologies.

Of course, 5G enables tons of benefits in our day to day work, Super-fast internet for instance. But the sad truth is there are some negative myths about it. So I decided to cover one of those.

Sometimes back the US military developed a weapon called 'Active Denial System(ADS)' to control the crowd by heating the surface of the target. it falls in the category of non-lethal technology that uses the millimeter-wave electromagnetic energy to work. In 2010 it was deployed with the United States military. Since the purpose of the ADS is to make targets feel like something is hurting(heat) their skin while it is working, it is using 94 to 95 GHz exposure millimeter-wave under very high power density. just like we do with sunlight and a magnifying glass.

The important thing is 5G also uses the same millimeter-wave in higher frequency rates in-ordered to trigger the benefits of the ultra-speed network. So you might think "The answer for our question is True, 5G borrowed engineering behind a weapon"....right? Not Exactly. It doesn't work like that at all. Because the purpose of 5G never meets the purpose of ADS. Also, 5G falls under ICNIRP guidelines. Then what are the actual difference between the ADS and 5G handsets? Well, I already mentioned that with the help of high power/energy density the ADS is trying to do what it supposed to do. But when it comes to 5G, even though it is using the same high-frequency millimeter-wave it never produces much power in a very small area. It means very low power density, relatively speaking.

But from that, we can't argue that "5G is not harmful". it is still debatable. A lot of research papers are out there on both sides. Some of them say "5G causes health issues" and some others say "not". Since the World Health Organization put normal cellular networks in the 2B category of cancer factors, they are not ready to recommend 5G without further case studies. Anyhow, most of the countries are racing to deploy this technology as soon as possible.

We are not here to talk about health issues. So let's turn back to the topic. It's 100% true that the 5G uses the same wave used in the ADS, but the important thing we have to understand is the mechanism/engineering behind 5G doesn't work as same as the ADS does.

Batch processing in modern Java applications with Spring Batch.

In the world of software development, Batch processing has been one of the challenging areas to implement in the early stages. But these days there are plenty of solutions available out of the box in the frameworks and platforms to do batch processing. In this article, I will share my experience with one such tool, Spring Batch. This will enable you to do batch processing by configuring this with your existing Spring Boot applications. Before we jump into the Spring Batch let me brief you about batch processing. the name might make you fear a lot about it in case if you are new to this. It’s nothing but processing the transactions (data) as small chunks or groups without any manual interaction from the user of the application. You may ask why you want to do that. The answer is because it has a lot of benefits in terms of performance and the efficiency of the application as you deal with a large dataset. Now let’s understand how it’s going to work and how we are going to implement ...

FaaS in Action with AWS + Serverless Framework for Java Developers

Serverless is becoming popular and Function as a Service is one of the trends in the serverless world. So being familiar with this technology is a really good addition to the profile as a developer. But from the very beginning of serverless, the community was preferring to use javaScript as the programming language. The reason for that is Serverless was initially made for less compute-intensive and more I/O intensive services where the JavaScript is performing well. So, that leads JavaScript to hold nearly 90% of the serverless world. But moving forward the way we use serverless and utilize computational power has changed. So there is nothing wrong for a Java developer to try out the FaaS and build comprehensive services. Therefore, I will be giving a practical example for developing an API in Java and deploying it in the AWS cloud. There are a few prerequisites to follow along Basic knowledge developing an API Basic idea about AW...

Firebase Cloud Messaging — Part 1 — Send Messages From the Backend

Firebase Cloud Messaging is one of the easiest and reliable ways of sending messages/notifications from the backend to the front-end. So, I would like to share my experience with a cloud messaging service. The best part is, we all know that firebase has been providing a set of great services for free of charge. FCM is one of them. You could use this service for multiple scenarios in multiple ways. I am going to follow the Admin SDK option in our example which is the popular way of doing it. Also, in part — 01 of this topic, I will be focusing on sending the message from the back end, and in part — 02 of this topic I will show you how you can handle the received messages in the front-end. Admin SDK supports almost all the languages and technologies such as Java, ASP.NET Core, Node JS, etc. in this example I will be using the ASP.NET Core to demonstrate the back-end side of it. Feel free to use any languages that you prefer. In order to get started with the FCM admin SDK, you need to cre...
