The issue is NOT 5G.

Assuming they define C-band in the traditional (non-EW) way, only thing i know aircraft use there is radar altimeters.

I could see that being of concern if real.

“I could see that being of concern if real.”

Airlines and phone companies have different allottments in the C-band.

Phone companies are increasingly getting closer to the 4.2 GHz min assigned to airlines.

You’d think it would have been since it’s been around for 5+ years.

So, no, they did not test 5G against aircraft equipment.

Correct. Which is the entire point of my post. It takes the FAA forever to test stuff. They're notorious.

Frequencies change ...

They certainly do... and in another 3- 4 decades, the FAA will get off their collective taxpayer-funded asses and finally test what they should've been testing all along.

The issue is NOT 5G.

The first rollouts of 5G were in 2019.

I believe South Korea is farthest ahead in 5G usage.
—————

China had to install 5G in all areas it uses its cashless digital currency. Many articles written about 5 G emplacement for their cashless system, now wide spread in China.Trillions of financial data is transferred in milli seconds , time stamped. Their satellites play a role, they developed the satellites first, their own GPS system, second was 5G, now their cashless digital system is up and running. Expected to be fully operational in less than a year. There is more to 5G than meets the eye.

Our next global financial meltdown, things will become much clearer ( if you keep your eyes on the ball). Sovereign debt meltdowns will be averted by numerous countries instating sovereign cashless digital systems ( those will fail), which will only be a temporary “ fix”.

Has there ever been any communications development that the Airline industry didn’t claim that it would crash all their airplanes? GPS will kill us all. No really it will this time.

Not the point. The FAA has to issue the clearances.

Cellphones didn’t interfere with the planes. The phones companies were worried that there systems could not handle fast moving phones in planes.

If I couldn't find a rail road I just watched for the color change as I crossed state lines.

BS. First rollout was 2019 in US and Korea. TELUS 2020. SaskTel 2021.

Canada does not use the 3.7 band.

Even with their lower 3.5 band they are setting restrictions on airport operation.
