If you read an article about 5G last month, chances are it mentioned C-band spectrum (and airplanes, and regulators, and frustrated telcos). But C-band is just one type of mid-band spectrum , which itself is just one of three broad buckets of 5G, alongside low band and high band (often called mmWave).

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.

That is, people using 5G on their phones could inadvertently distort or damage the radio altimeter’s signal . If this happens, even for a few seconds, it could mean the pilot doesn’t receive the correct information during landing. It is for this reason that the US Federal Aviation Administration raised concerns.

AT&T certainly has a very impressive list of cities with available 5G coverage . AT&T has launched the majority of its 5G network for business use. AT&T started with millimeter-wave and has also launched its nationwide 5G network based on its 850MHz spectrum and DSS in some areas.
