Those that aren’t will be retrofitted or replaced, according to an FAA C-band FAQ page. The temporary buffer zones encompass slightly more than a mile around landing runways that completely ban C-band 5G signal, providing planes with 20 seconds of signal-free time while they come in for landing.

It’s mid-band spectrum, so it’s considered highly valuable for its coverage and speed characteristics. But it doesn’t define 5G . T-Mobile, for example, uses 600 MHz, 2.5 GHz and 39 GHz for 5G, and when the second tranche of C-band becomes available in 2023, it will have an average 40 MHz of C-band at its disposal.

Airlines are asking the US Department of Transportation to establish a 2 mile (3.2 km) buffer around runways that is free of C-Band cell towers. Otherwise, they would enact flight restrictions, even in good weather conditions when visibility is not affected.

The impending national rollout of 5G on the C-Band — a radio frequency band between 3.7 and 4.2 GHz — has turned into a turf war between two powerful government agencies.4 Oca 2022
Read moreWhat is band C 5G?
C-band sits between the two Wi-Fi bands, which are at 2.4GHz and 5GHz . It’s slightly above and very similar to the 2.6GHz band that Clearwire and then Sprint used for 4G starting in 2007, and which T-Mobile currently uses for mid-band 5G.
