Huawei’s business has been hurt by U.S. sanctions, which have sought to cut it off from key software and components like semiconductors.

Older cell phones, alarm systems and roadside assistance devices that run on 3G signal will no longer work, and may already be unable to get a signal, says telecommunications consultant Hugh Odom. That’s because cell phone companies decided to shut down 3G signals in order to make room for 5G. As the signal dies off, check in with older neighbors...

Eric Schmidt and co-author Graham Allison said in an op-end that 5G development is key as it could enhance a country’s military and intelligence capabilities.

Wireless networks have launched their 5G networks, but concerns remain about whether or not the signals will interfere with airline operations.

Airlines have known about the impending rollout of 5G cell signal for years now – and had time to prepare for how it would potentially impact planes’ instruments, said Hugh Odom, a former attorney for AT&T. Airlines have warned they may cancel or change some flights, while cell companies have agreed to limit 5G signal around some airports .”The aviation...

Due to safety concerns, AT&T and Verizon said they will postpone the rollout of 5G near some U.S. airports planned for this week, but Boston Logan Airport is not one of them.

The 5G networks turned on Wednesday use wavelengths called C-band to cover a large part of the country with wireless service that’s faster than current 4G.

The rollout of 5G will not be delayed at Boston’s Logan Airport despite safety concerns. Airlines across the world rushed Wednesday to cancel or change flights heading into the U.S. over an ongoing dispute about the rollout of 5G mobile phone technology near American airports. The issue appeared to particularly impact the Boeing 777, a long-range, wide-body aircraft used...

After aviation officials warned of potential “catastrophic disruption” from the rollout of 5G, service providers have agreed to a temporary halt.

ANA, Japan Airlines and Emirates were among the carriers that canceled flights over concerns new 5G service could interfere with some onboard systems.

The airlines are in a showdown with AT&T and Verizon over the telecom companies’ plan to launch new 5G wireless service this week, warning that thousands of flights could be grounded or delayed if the rollout takes place near major airports.
