Verizon and AT&T Granted Full C-Band Use with Extended 5G Safeguards.
Four major US wireless carriers, including Verizon and AT&T, have agreed to voluntary actions to address aviation safety concerns and allow full use of the C-Band wireless spectrum for 5G use. The agreement follows extensive discussions with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and will allow carriers to increase power levels to get to full C-Band use. Some of the commitments could last until 2028, and the FAA continues to work closely to ensure a safe co-existence in the US 5G C-band environment.
