FAA put 5G buffer around Dallas Love Field, DFW Airport. What that means for smartphone users
5G and 5G+ speeds will be available to consumers this month before AT&T extends them to business customers in April.The telecommunications industry, which already agreed to delay the rollout by two weeks until Jan. 19, will now delay by six months its implementation of new C-band 5G networks near those airports over fears that expanded frequencies could interfere with sensitive aircraft instruments, such as altimeters that help tell pilots a plane’s altitude.
But mobile spectrum frequencies are becoming much more crowded with competition from not only wireless providers and aircraft but satellites, radio, drones and hundreds of other types of wireless devices that need their own bandwidth. That will, in theory, prevent 5G interference with aircraft taking off and landing on a runway, when sensitive instruments such as altimeters are most important.
