His error is assuming that the people working on this aren't aware of the potential issues and working to resolve them. I mean, if they can't, they won't be able to deploy this system.
NZ has a strong system of regulations and licensing around transmitting.
Maximum exposure to non-ionising radiation is set out in NZS 2772.1, which is based on the guidelines from the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection.
All transmitters require approval from Radio Spectrum Management, and any system like this being deployed would require a resource consent from a territorial authority under the Resource Management Act, at which point the Department of Conservation would submit on any adverse effects on local wildlife.
