AT&T and Verizon said Tuesday they would alter their planned rollout of 5G service to avoid airports after US airline CEOs warned the deployment could have “catastrophic” consequences for travel.
“We are frustrated by the FAA’s inability to do what nearly 40 countries have done, which is to safely deploy 5G technology without disrupting aviation services, and we urge it do so in a timely manner,” the AT&T spokesperson said in a statement. Aviation officials have expressed concern that the rollout of 5G C-band networks could cause safety issues by interfering with sensitive aircraft equipment, including instruments that measure altitude on some planes.
In their letter, the airlines requested for 5G networks “to be implemented everywhere in the country except within the approximate 2 miles of airport runways at affected airports as defined by the FAA.”
