India won’t face issues of 5G services interfering with flights as the frequencies used for rendering the next gen technology will be distant from those used by altimeters in aircraft, communications and IT minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said.
“In the US, especially in the older aircraft, the altimeters’ frequency is close to the one being used to render 5G services,” Vaishnaw said. But he said that the frequency used by altimeters in India is far away from the frequencies designated for 5G services. “Thus, the problem of interference won’t affect us.”
