WASHINGTON : The Federal Aviation Administration said on Tuesday it is in direct talks with the telecom industry about its aviation safety concerns involving the planned use of spectrum for 5G wireless communications.

Earlier this month, AT&T and Verizon Communications agreed to delay the commercial launch of C-band wireless service from Dec. 5 until early January. The FAA bulletin said operators"should be prepared for the possibility that interference from 5G transmitters and other technology could cause certain safety equipment to malfunction."

CTIA asked the Biden administration to"reject further calls to delay C-Band 5G services. Aviation safety is critically important. It is also not at risk due to C-Band 5G operations."
