The delay gives airlines more time to make sure the new service won't interfere with planes.
5G is a new technical standard for wireless networks that promises faster speeds and less lag.
The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that the wireless companies agreed to delay some of their use of the C-Band section of the radio spectrum until July 2023. Nolen said planes most susceptible to interference — smaller, so-called regional airline planes — must be retrofitted with filters or new altimeters by the end of this year. Components to retrofit larger planes used by major airlines should be available by July 2023, when the wireless companies expect to run 5G networks in urban areas "with minimal restrictions," he said.
"It is not at all clear that carriers can meet what appears to be an arbitrary deadline," trade group CEO Nicholas Calio said in a letter to Nolen. He said safety is jeopardized "by the rushed approach to avionics modifications amid pressure from the telecommunications companies," and warned that if replacement parts aren't ready in time, airline service could be disrupted.

Verizon, AT&T Delay Some 5G Service Over Airlines' ConcernsVerizon and AT&T won’t power up some wireless towers near airports until next summer to give airlines more time to make sure the new service won’t interfere with planes. But the airline industry is not happy about the deal. The Federal Aviation Administration said Friday that the companies agreed to hold off until July 2023. AT&T says it will control the strength of new 5G signals near runways so airlines have more time to retrofit planes. The FAA and airlines say 5G service using spectrum called C-Band can interfere with devices that measure a plane’s height above the ground. Airlines say they are being rushed to replace critical equipment.
