Continuing reports on the 5G C-Band service from AT&T and Verizon, new information comes about the agreement each made with the FAA. The agreement is to limit transmissions over the spectrum, rather than prolonging the delay of its use altogether.
The carriers will also abide by even more limitations near regional airports. This agreement seems to have satisfied FAA concerns.
The carriers will resume their 5G expansion, beginning January 5, 2022. As for the limited service, this will last for 6 months, which they expect will provide regulators time to evaluate what effect, if any, the cellular transmitters may have on aviation electronics. After that, they’ll re-evaluate whether the power can be turned up.
