EU approves in-flight 5G services

摘要

The EU has approved the use of 5G aboard aircraft during flight. In an amendment of its spectrum regulations, the European Commission also opened up the use of Wi-Fi in the 5GHz band for road transport. Mobile communications using previous generations such as 3G and 4G is already possible in-flight in the EU, and the new decision means airlines will be able to provide the latest 5G technology as well on their planes. The Commission said it updated the implementing decision on spectrum for mobile communications on-board aircrafts, designating certain frequencies for in-flight 5G services.
