AMOC stands for Alternative Method of Compliance . The AMOC process allows operators or manufacturers to demonstrate alternative ways to mitigate an unsafe situation. This process is used to clear altimeters that have been proven to be reliable and accurate in certain high-powered 5G environments.

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.
Read moreWhat frequencies are in the 5G C-band?
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.
Read moreWhat aircraft instrument operates in the C-band?
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
