WASHINGTON, Jan 7 (Reuters) – The U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) on Friday disclosed a list of 50 U.S.
airports that will have buffer zones when wireless carriers turn
on new 5G C-band service on Jan. 19.
AT&T and Verizon Communications on Monday
agreed to buffer zones around 50 airports to reduce the risk of
disruption from potential interference to sensitive airplane
instruments like altimeters. They also agreed to delay
deployment for two weeks, averting an aviation safety standoff.
The list includes airports in New York City, Los Angeles,
Chicago, Las Vegas, Minneapolis, Detroit, Dallas, Philadelphia,
Seattle and Miami.
