From my understanding, Boeing's radars will receive a much wider band than Airbus', combined with most other countries allocating 5G spectrum further away from the expected radar frequencies. They could switch but it would involve massive effort and possible recertification of the airframes.
- p_l 5y agoBoeing and Airbus (and others) buy radar altimeters from the same vendors. It just happens that Boeing finished checking out a bunch of configurations that they have sold in the past against interference from 5G under FCC allocation (AFAIK they previously checked against setups allowed in other countries), and published results. Airbus and others are also performing extra tests now.
