5G, which is the latest generation of smartphones network technology, can interfere with aircraft altitude instruments, the French Civil Aviation Authority warned Tuesday as it recommended they should be turned off during flight.
A spokesman for the agency spoke to correspondents yesterday said; ‘The utilization of 5G devices onboard aircraft could lead to risks of interference that could potentially result in errors in altitude readings,’
According to him, potential phenomenon is due to ‘signal interference from a close frequency source of a strength that is similar or even superior to that of altimeters.’
