If rain attenuation was a significant issue for Ionica, then won't it be a significant issue for the UK's 5G roll-out? Both system appear to run at about 3.5GHz.

5G is designed to drop down frequencies in situations like that. The frequency range that 5G can use is huge, but speeds won't be as fast lower down the spectrum.
