Canada Updates 3900 Mhz Band Rules to Protect Radio Altimeters

Canada Updates 3900 Mhz Band Rules to Protect Radio Altimeters

Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) has released new rules establishing a non-competitive local licensing (NCL) framework for the 3900 MHz band. This framework aims to protect radio altimeters operating in the 4200-4400 MHz band through interference mitigation measures. The goal is to balance technological innovation with aviation safety. The new regulations outline specific requirements and guidelines for NCL licensees to ensure responsible spectrum use and minimize potential disruptions to critical aviation systems. This initiative reflects ISED's commitment to effective spectrum management and public safety.

FAA Warns of 5G Cband Risks to Aircraft Altimeters

FAA Warns of 5G Cband Risks to Aircraft Altimeters

The FAA issued a Special Airworthiness Information Bulletin highlighting potential interference to radio altimeters from ongoing 5G C-band wireless network deployment. The FAA urges radio altimeter and aircraft manufacturers, operators, and pilots to actively submit relevant information for testing and evaluation. Collaboration with the FAA, FCC, and NTIA is crucial to address potential risks and ensure flight safety. This proactive approach aims to mitigate any adverse effects caused by 5G interference on critical aircraft systems, guaranteeing the continued safety and reliability of air travel.
