Regulatory wrangling earlier this year threatened to scuttle the much-anticipated rollout of new 5G networks from AT&T and Verizon. However, the carriers and US aviation officials were able to come to an agreement about how and where the new c-band spectrum could operate. Now, the FAA has issued an airworthiness directive aimed at the Boeing 737 that sheds some light on the issues that have delayed a full c-band rollout. According to the document, these aircraft could suffer altimeter malfunctions in the presence of certain 5G frequencies.
This mess could have been avoided, but it seems no one took responsibility for ensuring airlines made several necessary upgrades.
