Does 5G interfere with airlines?

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.

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.
