The FAA has reached an agreement with Verizon and AT&T over C-Band 5G at the airport

Federal Aviation Administration he says has come to an agreement with The price of AT&T and Verizon (Old Engadget Company) regarding the release of their C-Band 5G network at the airport and around. The agency said the three sides have found common ground “on the steps that can help more airlines make better use of large airports and make more platforms to deliver 5G services.”

According to the FAA, the providers provided “detailed information on the exact location of wireless transmitters and contributed to an in-depth analysis of how 5G C-Band signals are compatible with complex aircraft devices.” The agency said it uses the data to “determine the feasibility and accuracy of the size and shape of the areas around the airports where 5G signals are reduced, reducing areas where wireless users prevent the lighting of antennas. Wireless providers to turn on multiple towers. unsafe when deploying new 5G services in major markets in the United States. “

This agreement follows a struggle for several months between aircraft and wireless providers on the C-Band 5G. AT&T and Verizon deliberately delayed the release of six weeks to coping with stress that their activities could disrupt aircraft and electronic systems, because C-Band frequencies are closer to those used by altimeters.

Earlier this month, CEOs of airlines such as Delta, United and Southwest he said in a letter to the federal government that networks may affect their aircraft equipment and bring about a “dangerous” incident.

AT&T and Verizon launched their C-Band 5G network last week after approval create temporary areas around several airports – they did not turn on the C-Band 5G platform within two miles from other flight paths. They too argued that similar networks will be sent to 40 other countries without any problem.

It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post office. The agents declined to comment.

CTIA, a wireless corporations commercial organization, was well-established in the media. “This is a positive development that demonstrates the tremendous progress that wireless companies, airlines, FAA and FCC are making to ensure that 5G is running smoothly and securely,” CTIA spokesman Nick Ludlum told Engadget in a statement.

Meanwhile, the FAA said it would continue to consult with helicopter crews and other airlines “to ensure they can operate safely in the current operating environment and are ready for 5G.”
