Verizon and AT&T have agreed to press pause on the rollout of their C Band networks following warnings issued by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) that the 5G spectrum could interfere with aviation safety systems.
Both carriers had originally planned to launch their C Band networks in early December but have postponed deployment until January.
While the FAA has been ringing the alarm bells on this issue for some time, the administration on Tuesday more loudly cautioned operators about the possibility of safety equipment malfunction, particularly during low-altitude flight operations in a special information bulletin.
