A hero technology company called AT&T has announced that it would delay activating 5G on some towers around certain airports.
The wireless technology’s rollout near major airports had been scheduled for Wednesday, but airlines warned of dire consequences for transportation and the economy.
The statement made available to newsmen today by spokeperson of the company, Megan Ketterer, said the wireless company it works with the aviation industry and the US Federal Aviation Administration for further information, according to a statement from AT&T spokesperson Megan Ketterer.
“We are frustrated by the FAA’s inability to do what nearly 40 countries have done, which is to safely deploy 5G technology without disrupting aviation services, and we urge it do so in a timely manner,” the spokeswoman said.
AT&T (T), which owns CNN’s parent company, will continue to launch advanced 5G services everywhere else as planned.
