This week will once again have me traveling for work, but not that far away–Wednesday, I’m taking Amtrak to Philadelphia for the Online News Association’s conference there. And since the Phillies are in town that weekend, I can add Citizens Bank Park to my ballparks-visited list instead of having that city represented only by the late and unlamented Vet. 8/15/2023: Verizon Lights Up Rest of…

5G C-band on airplanes ?

The C-band network is scheduled to launch in December. On October 5, 2021, the aviation industry and the FAA argued that the C-band signal from aircraft radios, which estimates the distance of aircraft from the ground for landing in bad weather, should be picked up. These altimeters are designed to use the same band as the 5G network (the aircraft frequency is 400 MHz in the network launch of 2022), but some of them are designed not to scan the surrounding frequencies, because these frequencies are not used to power when altimeters. was built. The FAA and air carriers agree on a two-mile "exclusion zone" around most airports where air carriers will not launch c band first. cities like Chicago, Dallas, New York and San Diego that are close to the airport. Our tests showed that Verizon appears to maintain a signal beyond the two-mile limit, at least in New York.

The FAA is also working to review and approve altimeter models with precision filters, although some observers wonder why the agency could not have done so a year ago, when a different model was installed. separate for the sale. No aircraft interference affects frequencies below 3.7 GHz. This means that it does not affect CBRS, or T-Mobile's mid-band, or AT&T's 3.45 GHz. This gives AT&T and T-Mobile a significant advantage over Verizon right now, as they are able to install centralized systems near airports where Verizon is not.

What does the FAA think about 5G and C-band ?

The Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) thinking about the use of C-band has received some publicity in early 2022, perhaps prompting some consumers to ask yourself, "What is the effect of C-band on aircraft, will it -also affects my business? » As carriers prepare to deploy C-band earlier this year, airlines and the FAA expressed concern that broadcasting on the C-band spectrum could cause problems for some aircraft. using other frequencies. If these altimeters fail to function properly, the FAA and airlines argue, this conflict could cause safety problems.

Rest assured that 5G using c band and aircraft can coexist safely. The FCC has implemented some of the best technology in the world to protect other frequencies, and there have been no safety issues in many other countries where 5G has been deployed in the C-band, however, Verizon and AT&T have cooperated closely with the FAA in recent months and is working on a system that addresses the FAA's concerns and makes C-band deployments more robust. Specifically, carriers share information about relocation plans along certain airport runways and agree on certain temporary restrictions along those routes.

The FAA is also working with airlines, aircraft manufacturers, and radio altimeter manufacturers to install filters or other measures to improve the ability of older models of altimeters to avoid interference due to operation and other frequency bands. In the meantime, as other concerns are addressed, operators can continue to deploy more than 90% of their planned C-band spectrum services to countries at this rate. will continue to grow as the FAA and staff continue to work together on acceptable solutions.

What is C-Band for your business?

 From a practical point of view, C-band promises to give more businesses and consumers access to high-speed 5G. The C-band model has a sweet spot in the middle, which can provide a good combination of coverage and performance that can suit many. Businesses can use the C-band spectrum to take advantage of 5G, for example by promoting AR collaboration or unlocking IoT-based business intelligence. By leveraging the benefits of 5G in this way, businesses can transform their operations and provide superior services to their customers.

Why do we need C-band?

The 5G situation in the United States is currently very difficult. For 5G to deliver a better experience than 4G, it needs a wide, dedicated channel, preferably 50 MHz or more. For 5G to cover the whole country, it needs to be running below around 6 GHz, so you can get a good range from the tower. Currently, AT&T and Verizon do not use wireless networks to match these fees. Verizon may have something to gain by using the new CBRS wireless network below C-band, but the jury is still out. So in general, AT&T and Verizon offer 5G that is not faster than LTE at the same time or without limits.

C band can solve this problem. The government has released 280 MHz of airwaves in the main C-band and an additional 100 MHz in the 3.45 band, which can extend up to 800 meters from each tower, leaving enough bandwidth for many airwave carriers. and benefited. through 5G is strong. mainly existing cell sites.

Leaving the cellular is a terrible thing. This 2006 article estimates that the 3.5 GHz network can extend up to 2 km from any site in urban areas and up to 6.2 km in rural areas. According to CellMapper.net, there is about 2.5 miles between T-Mobile's 2.6 GHz sites in downtown Dallas, but only 0.6 miles between sites where I live in Queens, New York. So I say half a mile for a 3.5GHz network is fine.

Our first test of Verizon's c band shows a range of about 0.37 miles in populated Queens, New York. This, however, appears to be limited not by the power of the airwaves, but by the fact that Verizon doesn't want its cell sites to interfere with each other.

What is C-band and what does it mean for the future of 5G?

For 5G to deliver a better experience than 4G, it needs a wide, dedicated channel, preferably 50 MHz or more. That's where C-band comes in: the frequency that can save 5G in the United States.

He came. You see. The planes did not fall from the sky. AT&T and Verizon recently rolled out their C-band 5G networks after months of wrangling with airlines and the FAA. In logging, so far, we have not seen any major aviation problems or threats to aviation safety. After two years of AT&T and Verizon's "national 5G" network looking like 4G, c band may finally increase speed. But what is C-band and what does it mean for 5G? Do you need a C-band phone? Is C-band the new frequency? Should we fear group C? We can explain. Satellite recovery

According to the radio research company Rohde and Schwarz, C-band covers all frequencies between 4 and 8 GHz. However, when American wireless geeks talk about C-band, they're talking about 3.7 to 4.2 GHz - and more, in this case, the 3.7 to 3.98 GHz range.

There is also another range of radio waves involved, from 3.45 to 3.55 GHz. No one really decided what to call them: they were "3.45", "DoD" (the military used them), or even "Andromeda". But they have a lot to do with the C.-band spectrum, so we include them in this description.

Our first test of Verizon's C-band shows a range of about 0.37 miles in populated Queens, New York. However, this shows that it is not the strength of the wireless network, but from the fact that Verizon does not want its cell sites to interfere with each other. So running half a mile across a large part of the country is always good.

Who should use C-band?

First, AT&T and Verizon. Later, T-Mobile on the plate.

The c band frequency is transmitted from 3.7 to 4.2 GHz in two tranches. The first 100 MHz is currently available in 50 markets in the United States, covering approximately 60% of the American population. Verizon and AT&T share the 60/40 "Block A" airwaves. So Verizon would be on top, and AT&T on the bottom, the 50 MHz rule of thumb that I use for real 5G differentiation.

Another 180 MHz is expected to be released at the end of 2023. That includes a lot of Verizon and AT&T spectrum, as well as wireless spectrum purchased by T-Mobile, US Cellular and some other phone companies. At that time, Verizon will end up with an average of 160 MHz of spectrum and AT&T with an average of 80 MHz, both of which could offer a truly different 5G experience. The program provides for the launch of these networks at the end of 2023 or 2024. These launches may, however, earlier in 2023, if the standards of the 600 MHz band are maintained. T-Mobile took over a large part of the 600 MHz band, which used to be TV channels 14 to 55, in 2017. This has a license that extends until July 2020. But T-Mobile works with broadcasters (and pays) to get licenses early, getting licenses from New York City more than a year ahead of schedule, for example.

AT&T, Dish and T-Mobile are the customers of the 3.45 GHz frequency. AT&T and Dish said they plan to turn them on as soon as the equipment is available, either later in 2022 or early 2023. T-Mobile is keeping its 3.45 GHz for when it needs the license.
