Transportation leaders are worried the frequency used for 5G is too close to the frequency planes use to communicate, jeopardizing flight safety.
President Joe Biden released a statement Tuesday, echoing his hope that the dispute would be resolved."On average, your speeds will go up, and this will happen when you have a 5G cell phone, and you're in an area with the 5G deployment that has service," said Neal Patwari, a professor of electrical and systems engineering at Washington University.
That means even those who do not have a 5G capable phone may still see higher speeds because fewer people will be using the 4G network. "People are right now working on 6G," Patwari said."We're looking into the technologies that will help improve the bandwidth and the rate at which you can get your data, and your video on your phone. And they're going to keep working on that."
