The concern is that, due to the narrow gap between the frequencies of the 5G and the radio altimeters, the radio waves from 5G towers near airports could cause interference . That is, people using 5G on their phones could inadvertently distort or damage the radio altimeter’s signal.25 Oca 2022

During the two-week delay in deploying new 5G service, safety experts determined that 5G interference with the aircraft’s radio altimeter could prevent engine and braking systems from transitioning to landing mode , which could prevent an aircraft from stopping on the runway.
Read moreWhy are airlines afraid of 5G?
The airline industry has concerns that 5G signal near airports could interfere with altimeters , which aircraft use to measure the height above the earth. This is used in takeoff and landing in slow visibility.

On October 17, 2019, the UK’s second-largest telecom provider rolled out 5G in a handful of cities as part of their plan to reach 20 cities before 2020 .
Read moreDoes 5G interfere with airplanes in Europe?
The aviation industry is worried that US 5G service is too close to the spectrum used by radar altimeters, which is between 4.2 and 4.4 GHz. Europe does not face the same risk , according to the industry, because there is a much larger buffer between the spectrum used by radar altimeters and 5G.
