Wasn't this the plot of a Batman movie?

It isn't breakthrough at all. It's been known for almost 15 years that with enough bandwidth, 5G spectrum can replicate short-range surroundings with extreme precision.

Gigahertz [GHz] Wavelength In Centimeters [cm] 5 GHz 5.99584916 cm 10 GHz 2.99792458 cm 20 GHz 1.49896229 cm 50 GHz 0.599584916 cm

I'm not sure I'd consider nearly 6cm at 5GHz to be "extreme precision". Extreme precision would put the radiated energy into the visible light spectrum, which we already have the ability to do. Also, windows provide and amazing view into interior spaces. The detail is incredible. You don't even need complex and expensive equipment to see through them.

Also once you get to the precision of visible light, you also get the blocking characteristics walls have on visible light.

He said 5G, not 5 GHz. 5G is not a very precise term in this context since it refers to modulation and data encoding schemes, but it is used on several bands including up around 60 GHz.

What till people hear about the proprietary software able to be added/ inserted into certain brands of 'muh 5G smart lights', that uses some type of blend of iirc black light/ scatter radiation to create a moving 3d visual map of the entire room/ area .... now couple that with yer smart watch bio information.

there was an article on this in PopularScience at least 20 years ago

Sorry, I haven't watched tv, or a movie in a very long time.

Holy Dark-Knight-Rises Batman!

Not really a breakthrough either as this technology has existed a long time, before Batman used it.

5G expands this technology by allowing passive monitoring with much higher precision.

This has been common knowledge for at least ten years

They also argue that this technology offers an improvement in privacy rights as it does not rely on cameras, and the required equipment can be bought at a reasonable price. Most households in developed countries already have WiFi at home, and this technology may be used to monitor the well-being of older people or identify suspicious behaviors at home.

So making it cheaper to spy on people through walls, so that everyone can do it, IMPROVES privacy rights. I guess I need to be a Carnegie Mellon researcher to grasp this.

breakthrough

AKA, it's been around for 10+ years already.

Now imagine the government becomes interested in accessing this data. They'd need to get a device inside your home so they might cook up an excuse like monitoring "interior pollution" caused by gas stoves or something wacky like that.

They'll install the device when they drop by to confiscate your guns.

They'd need to get a device (like a WiFi router) in your house, and have it send data back to them (like over the Internet).

breakthrough

Years and years old that's been intentionally built into the (((wifi))) standard.

Yes it is, one of my buddies made a video about it a few years ago. His youtube channel was banned.
