GA Orgs Urge Permanent Fix, Better Coordination on 5G
While communications have improved on the 5G spectrum issue, GA leaders see need for permanent solutions and preparations for future technologies.

General aviation leaders are appealing to lawmakers for a more permanent solution to the 5G spectrum issue and better federal interagency coordination when similar spectrum issues arise in the future. In June key U.S. government, wireless, and aviation stakeholders agreed to a partial extension of the 5G C-band mitigation by cellular companies Verizon and AT&T in select markets. The mitigations are designed to shield against interference from Verizon's and AT&T's use of spectrum near that used by aircraft radar/radio altimeters.
