The frequency band of 3300-3670 MHz identified for 5G technology in India is sufficiently spaced out from the 4200-4400 MHz band, used for radio altimeter in planes, and it is “very unlikely” to cause any interference in radio altimeter communications, the government said on Wednesday.
Some media reports have been published regarding observations of US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on possible interference by 5G technology with radio altimeter used in aircraft, Minister of State for Communications Devusinh Chauhan said in a written reply in Lok Sabha.
Further, Chauhan said the frequency band identified for 5G technology is 3300-3670 MHz, among others, which is sufficiently spaced out from the frequency band 4200-4400 MHz, used for radio altimeter in aircraft and “it is very unlikely to cause any interference with the operation of radio altimeters”.
