Amy's extensive and informative article begins... "The world is eagerly embracing 5G technology, the fifth generation wireless network that gives communications service providers the ability to deliver ultra-fast “intelligent connectivity.” Offering greater bandwidth and low latency, 5G can transfer huge amounts of data potentially 100 times faster than 4G, allow applications to connect and share data in real time, and enable networks to handle 100 times the number of connected devices."
Not too far in, Flyht's Willie Cecil is quoted: “Ever since 2G has been available, cellular data connectivity has been used to harvest aircraft operational data in bulk, which is automatically and routinely analyzed to improve flight safety,” said Willie Cecil, director, aircraft data and edge solutions for FLYHT Aerospace Solutions Ltd.
“Now there is increasing demand for ever-increasing amounts of data to feed maturing predictive maintenance, operational efficiency, and business intelligence applications enabled by artificial intelligence and machine learning technology. In the past, 3G and 4G technology have fallen short in their efforts to harvest the higher data volume available from new aircraft, but 5G provides the data rates and capacity that is needed,” said Cecil.
Stalzer: "To date, many countries, including Brazil, Canada, France, Japan, and Thailand, have successfully deployed their 5G networks without issue, while also including mitigations to preserve aviation safety and uninterrupted services — but by comparison, the U.S. rollout has been rockier."
