AT&T and Verizon give FAA another year to remedy C-band 5G interference issues
Now, the carriers will continue with"some level of voluntary mitigations" for another year, until July 5th, 2023."After that time, the wireless companies expect to operate their networks in urban areas with minimal restrictions," the FAA said.
"Through close coordination with the FAA over the last several months, we have developed a more tailored approach to controlling signal strength around runways that allows us to activate more towers and increase signal strength," an AT&T spokesperson said.
“Today’s announcement identifies a path forward that will enable Verizon to make full use of our C-Band spectrum for 5G around airports on an accelerated and defined schedule," Verizon executive vice-president and chief administrative officer Craig Silliman.
