NEW DELHI: A panel headed by principal scientific adviser Ajay Kumar Sood has been tasked with resolving the contentious issue of rolling out 5G services in and around airports amid aircraft and passenger safety concerns.
Senior officials aware of the move told ET that a wider panel has been formed “to work on the 5G matter” as no consensus was reached around timelines for replacing obsolete aircraft radio altimeters-a key device that provides vital altitude information to flight crews and on-board aircraft systems during landings in low visibility conditions.
