The two largest US phone companies AT&T and Verizon have agreed in response to a request from the US government to postpone the deployment of 5G services this week, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said the day before.
Both telephone companies, AT&T and Verizon, announced late Monday night that they were postponing the launch of 5G for two weeks.

“The FAA thanks AT&T and Verizon for agreeing to the voluntary deferral and for their proposed risk mitigation measures,” the agency said in a statement.

According to the agency, wireless companies have also proposed a number of risk reduction measures comparable to those used in Europe. “We believe this could significantly reduce air traffic disruptions,” the FAA added.
“These additional mitigation measures will be in place for six months near 50 airports that are considered the most important for the US aviation sector,” the US Aviation Agency added.
What was before
US Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttidge and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have previously made a request due to concerns about flight safety.
The world’s largest aircraft manufacturers, Airbus and Boeing, have warned that 5G wireless signals in the C-band could interfere with the aircraft’s sensitive electronics and interfere with flights.
AT&T and Verizon initially rejected the request before agreeing.
They have already postponed plans to launch 5G late last year.
