Both prohibit certain operations requiring radio altimeter (RadAlt) data when in the presence of 5G.

This potential boom comes from a lot more than just the need to stream movies.

Pressure from the aviation industry mounted on the federal government Tuesday to delay deployment of 5G technology to the C-band frequency spectrum owing to concerns about potential safety issues linked to radio (radar) altimeter performance. NBAA and AOPA joined a coalition of leading aerospace manufacturers, airlines, pilots, and operators calling for a delay of the […]

As the Federal Communications Commission nears a planned expansion of radio frequencies available to 5G cellular networks, U.S. aviation industry leaders are expressing concerns about potential safety issues linked to radio (radar) altimeter performance. Beginning December 5, cellular carriers in 46 U.S. markets are expected to repurpose portions of the C-band frequency spectrum near the […]

Gogo Business Aviation has recently hit several key milestones as it continues to develop its 5G air-to-ground (ATG) network and onboard equipment. The addition of two 5G antennas on a ground tower allowed Gogo’s engineers to complete flight testing of its 5G belly-mounted antennas and 5G air card prototypes to validate their performance. The Gogo […]

Garmin International announced last week that it has joined a broad aviation industry coalition in urging the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to reconsider its “Report and Order” to repurpose C-band frequency spectrum nearby to the frequency band that is used by safety-critical FAA-certified radio (radar) altimeters, including Garmin’s GRA 5500 and GRA 55. Joining Garmin […]
