The European Commission has allowed air carriers to use 5G frequencies on board aircraft
Airlines within the European Union will be able to install 5G technology on board their planes, which will allow passengers to use mobile phones and other gadgets during flights without turning on "airplane mode". This was reported by fl360aero.
How will 5G work on airplanes?
It is noted that such a function became available after the European Commission adapted the legislation on mobile communication to modern standards.
The corresponding service will be provided in airplanes, in which special "pico-cell" network equipment will be installed. It will connect users on board the liner with the terrestrial mobile network via satellite. Passengers will be able to make calls, send text messages and use the Internet.
When will internet and calls be available on board the plane?
According to the commission's decision, EU member states will have to provide access to the 5 GHz frequency band for use in vehicles as early as possible, but no later than June 30, 2023.
It will also allow you to use high-speed 5G Internet while traveling by car or bus.
