Airlines in Europe will be able to provide the latest 5G technology on their planes, now that the European Commission has updated the implementing decision on spectrum for mobile communications on-board aircrafts and designated certain frequencies for in-flight 5G.
Following this decision by the European Commission, passengers aboard flights in the EU will be able to use their mobile phones just like with a ground-based 5G mobile network.
“5G will enable innovative services for people and growth opportunities for European companies. The sky is no longer a limit when it comes to possibilities offered by super-fast, high-capacity connectivity,” said Thierry Breton, commissioner for the internal market.
