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.
Read moreHow big is the 5G buffer around airports?
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.
Read moreWhat is band C range?
C-band refers to the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum allotted for satellite transmissions in the 4GHz to 8GHz frequency range. C-band satellite antennas are used frequently in areas of the world where signals can become degraded due to heavy rain or other intense climate-related conditions.
Read moreWhich countries use C-band 5G?
The first 23 countries to auction or allocate C-band spectrum for 5G include Australia, Austria, Czechia, Finland, Germany, Hong Kong, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Norway, Romania, Slovakia, South Korea, Spain and the U.K.
Read moreIs C-band high band?
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).
