According to the statement published Thursday by the FAA, airplane models that feature one of 13 “cleared altimeters” that the agency has determined are safe from potential 5G C-Band interference include “all Boeing 717, 737, 747, 757, 767, 777, 787, MD-10/-11 ; all Airbus A300, A310, A319, A320, A330, A340, A350 and …

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.

Generally, AT&T and Verizon . The C-band frequencies will become available in two chunks. The first 100MHz are now available in 46 major markets across the US, covering about 60% of the US population. Verizon and AT&T split those “A block” airwaves 60/40.

As part of 3GPP release 15, three bands n77, n78, and n79 were identified for 5G operation in the C-band, with a potential service bandwidth of up to 100 MHz.

The aviation industry has pointed out for several years that aircraft radio altimeters operate on C-Band frequencies. The altimeters measure the distance between a plane and the ground. They are crucial for landing aircraft in low-visibility conditions like heavy fog, snow and rain.4 Oca 2022
