Aviation and Wireless Industries Clash Over Proposed C-Band Rules Amid Altimeter Interference Fears
The aviation and wireless industries remain at odds over the Federal Communications Commission's (FCC) proposed rules for the upper C-band spectrum. The central conflict revolves around the aviation sector's concerns that new wireless services could interfere with critical radio altimeters essential for aircraft landings. Aviation groups are advocating for stricter power limits and a larger protective guard band to ensure flight safety. In contrast, the wireless industry argues that the proposed regulations are already sufficient and that additional restrictions would unnecessarily hinder the expansion of 5G networks. Both sides have formally submitted their arguments as the FCC prepares to finalize the contentious regulations.
