The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on Thursday issued fresh warnings that new 5G wireless service could still disrupt flights, saying there were 'big differences' between U.S. aviation protections and those used in France.

REUTERS/Mike BlakeWASHINGTON, Jan 6 - The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on Thursday issued fresh warnings that new 5G wireless service could still disrupt flights, saying there were "big differences" between U.S.

"If there’s the possibility of a risk to the flying public, we are obligated to pause the activity, until we can prove it is safe," the FAA website said. "Radar altimeters still must be proven safe in the overall U.S. 5G environment to fly into these airports, so we must take into account the higher signal strength when assessing safety and risk."

The deal Monday assured AT&T and Verizon they will be able to start service this month and they agreed to temporary buffer zones around 50 airports that the FAA will identify by Friday. Biden said the agreement "puts us on track to substantially reduce disruptions to air operations" after Jan. 19.
