What’s Taking 5G Wireless Networks So Long To Activate

Daytona Beach, FL – If you have a 5G phone but don’t have access to a 5G network, there’s a reason for that. Embry Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU) Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Dr. Eduardo Rojas said that two 5G providers – AT&T and Verizon – were authorized to activate 5G wireless networks in early December, but they decided to delay the activation by a month, allowing time for more safety studies. “Some frequency bands of these 5G networks are very close to the frequency range of the aircraft.  So the issue or the concern is that the signal from cell phone towers may interfere.” Other providers have their 5G networks up and running. Dr. Rojas said that those companies are likely using different frequencies and are farther away from airport traffic. “The difference is the bands that are used by different companies and by locations. So these bands have different frequencies and as long as you’re far away from frequencies used by the radio altimeter, it’s safe to use them. ” On November 4, Verizon and A&T issued a statement, saying they would hold off on launching their 5G networks and work with regulatory agencies to address safety concerns.
