The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)<\/strong> has released the list of 50 airports in the United States that will have buffer zones<\/strong> when two telecom companies turn on disputed new 5G services. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aviation industry is concerned that signals from the 5G C-band services <\/strong>could interfere with sensitive aircraft equipment. Notably radio altimeters that are used to provide height above the ground <\/strong><\/em>when aircraft come in to land. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These instruments are crucial during operations in poor weather and visibility. <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AT&T and Verizon have already agreed to delay the introduction of the new services twice to give the. FAA time to take mitigating action, <\/strong>plus have agreed to certain measures for a temporary period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new 5G services will now be switched on on January 19, 2022. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe wireless companies agreed to turn off transmitters and make other adjustments near these airports for six months to minimize potential 5G interference with sensitive aircraft instruments used in low-visibility landings\u201d <\/em> <\/p>FAA said in a statement on January 7, 2022. <\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

50 Airports by FAA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The 50 airports can be found here. They include Dallas Fort Worth (DFW), Los Angeles International (LAX), LaGuardia (LGA)<\/em>. Chicago O\u2019Hare (ORD), Orlando International (MCO) and San Francisco International (SFO)<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The FAA said traffic volume, the number of low visibility days and geographic location <\/strong>were factors in its decision. <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Some major airports, such as Denver International Airport (DEN) and Hartsfield-Jackson (ATL) <\/em>in. Atlanta, were left off the list because the relevant 5G services are not being deployed there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The telecoms companies have argued that 5G C-band services have been deployed elsewhere without affecting aviation safety, notably in France. <\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In a new website, the FAA has provided more information on the differences between deployment in the US and elsewhere.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The FAA states that buffer zones for US airports only protect the last 20 seconds of flight<\/strong>, compared to 96 seconds in France, and that antennas are tilted downwards to reduce interference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
 Some 5G services elsewhere use frequency bands that aren\u2019t as close to those used by aviation instruments, thus providing more of a buffer. <\/pre>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, 5G power levels are lower in Europe. \u201cIn the U.S., even the planned temporary nationwide lower power levels will be 2.5x higher than in France<\/em>,\u201d the FAA notes on the website. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
