An estimated 90% of U.S. commercial aircraft are approved to operate in 5G-deployed areas, according to the FAA.
The FAA said wireless companies have"provided more precise data about the exact location of wireless transmitters and supported more thorough analysis of howinteract with sensitive aircraft instruments." The latest data has also led regulators to allow more aircraft to use essential airports safely, the agency said.
As of Friday, an estimated 90% of U.S. commercial aircraft have approved radio altimeters, which allows fleet to land in low-visibility areas where 5G services have been deployed, according to the. The FAA said it will continue to work with the aviation community to make sure aircraft can safely operate in 5G-activated areas.
"Continued collaboration, information sharing and a recommitment to science will help confirm what we already know: that 5G deployment can safely co-exist with aviation technologies in the United States, just as it does in other countries around the world," she said in a statement. Last week, Verizon and AT&T rolled out the expanded technology — which is intended to increase telecommunication speed, reliability and power — throughout much of the country. But a day before the planned launch, chief executives of America's largest airlines warned of"economic calamity" and said"the nation's commerce will grind to a halt" should 5G service be implemented near airport runways due to its potential to disrupt radio altimeters used by aircraft.
