The new frequency, C-Band, hits the sweet spot in 5G frequencies, offering the widest coverage with the highest speeds possible. The C-Band operates in the 3.7-3.98GHz frequency , which is close to the 4.2-4.4GHz frequency used by altimeters on airlines.
Read moreWhat is C-band clearing?
C-band holders in the U.S. are in line to receive $9.7 billion in total for clearing 300 MHz of the band for terrestrial 5G wireless operators by Dec. 5, 2023 , by moving customers to the upper 200 MHz of the band. Intelsat and SES are set to get $4.9 billion and $3.97 billion, respectively, under the FCC’s plan.
Read moreWhat is the difference between C-band and Ku band?
The Ku band frequency range is 11.7 – 12.2 GHz (or 11700 to 12220 MHz) Notice how these frequencies are higher than the C band frequency range . Because of the higher frequencies, Ku band waves have shorter wavelengths. Shorter wavelengths mean that you need a smaller dish to receive these frequencies.

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 …
Read moreHow big is the 5G buffer zone?
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.
Read moreDoes tmobile use C-band 5G?
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.
