US telcos are told not to operate 5G sites using the C-band spectrum at 50 airports for 6 months. Airlines have raised concerns that 5G could interfere with sensitive aircraft systems.

, wireless companies agree to turn off transmitters and make other adjustments near airports for six months to minimise potential 5G interference. It says it will work closely with aerospace manufacturers and wireless companies to make sure 5G is safely deployed and to limit the risk of flight disruptions.which include John F Kennedy International, Los Angeles International, Chicago O’Hare International, San Francisco International, and Dallas Fort Worth International.

In Malaysia, Digital Nasional Berhad, the single 5G wholesale network, is currently deploying 5G using C-band but it doesn’t face the same concerns as the US. As highlighted by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission , C-band for 5G use in Malaysia uses a lower 3.4-3.6GHz range while the US uses a higher 3.7-3.98GHz range for 5G. An aircraft radio altimeter uses the range of 4.2-4.4GHz, which is closer to the US’ C-band spectrum for 5G.

The MCMC said Malaysia’s 5G usage is further down on the C-band with a broader guard band. This is similar to best practices in Europe and Singapore, where there are no aviation concerns have been raised to date.
