FAA to limit 5G internet speeds at 50 major airports
(KYMA, KECY) - You won't be surfing super high internet speeds at 50 American airports next week.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is restricting the new 5G spectrum at some of the country's busiest travel hubs.
The ban lasts for at least six months due to potential signal interference with aircraft instruments.
Experts regard the likelihood of such interference as low.
Airports including JFK, LAX, and O'Hare will enforce a 5G buffer around the property.
Other busy airports like Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson, Boston's Logan, and Washington D.C.'s airports will not restrict 5G.
The FAA says airports in areas where 5G will not be offered, or where low-visibility landings are already prohibited, are unaffected by the ban.
