Fifty airports have been selected to have safety buffer zones ahead of AT&T and Verizon's rollout of 5G networks on January 19.
could interfere with transmissions from radio altimeters, which could potentially endanger airplane landings.
"Safety is the core of our mission and this guides all of our decisions. The FAA thanks AT&T and Verizon for agreeing to a voluntary delay and for their proposed mitigations. We look forward to using the additional time and space to reduce flight disruptions associated with this 5G deployment," the FAA said in a statement last week.
The FAA also noted that some major airports, such as Denver and Atlanta, were not chosen for the safety measures because 5G is not yet being deployed in those areas, or because"5G towers are far enough away that a natural buffer exists." The FAA concerns have stemmed from fears that altimeter systems operate over a similar range or frequencies to C-band, which could cause interference during landings. However, both companies have maintained that 5G networks and aviation can coexist, and have pointed to their success in other nations.
