Airline companies want more time to prepare for the potential impact of 5G frequencies on crucial safety equipment. Here's what that means for you.
When AT&T and Verizon postponed 5G by airports for six months, the companies emphasized the autonomy of their decision.
According to a release from the FAA, “The agency approved two radio altimeter models that are installed in a wide variety of Boeing and Airbus planes. This combination of aircraft and altimeter approval opens up runways at as many as 48 of the 88 airports most directly affected by 5G C-Band interference.” The Boeing 777, which is in wide use by both American and global airlines, is not yet included on the FAA's list of approved airplane models.thanking AT&T and Verizon for the delay.
According to the Biden administration, conversations to resolve the issue are ongoing. “My team has been engaging non-stop with the wireless carriers, airlines, and aviation equipment manufacturers to chart a path forward for 5G deployment and aviation to safely co-exist—and, at my direction, they will continue to do so until we close the remaining gap and reach a permanent, workable solution around these key airports,” the statement reads.
