Solar activities cause issues with communications

World wide communication systems are being disrupted by the effects of unusually large solar activities that have spewed electromagnetic radiation towards the earth. Solar flare activities can throw out radiation that both just cause minor disruption to satellite services or completely fry the satellite (however chances of such are very rare). The solar activites seem to be causing problems at 1.4 gigahertz, which are close to the wavelengths used by GPS satellites, cordless phones, some pay tv or transmission systems.
However, this sort of communications failures caused by radiation has been studied by military scientists as form of combat. This sort of weapon technically could disable communications networks and information technology equipment.
Infact there are already weaponry that can destroy remotely all telecommunications equipment with in a particular radius without even causing an explosion.
