As a Wireless Analyst, I have followed the wireless industry and all the challenges and hurdles it has faced and overcome for decades. The way 5G C-Band technology may interfere with aircraft altimeter controls is just the next step in this journey. So, what is the real story this time around and what are the positions of AT&T and Verizon as we sort through this mess?
First, Verizon and AT&T are taking the responsible position and are working with the FAA to detect and prevent any C-Band disruption to the airline industry. They have turned down the power on towers near airport runways. So far, no problem.
