The FAA on Tuesday issued a special information bulletin alerting manufacturers, operators and pilots about potential interference involving cockpit electronics and 5G. The FAA and the Federal Communications Commission, which regulates use of public wireless spectrum for communication, issued a joint statement saying they'd work with the companies to mitigate safety concerns and to continue to coordinate efforts to ensure safety. News of the voluntary pause in deployment by AT&T and Verizon was reported earlier by The Wall Street Journal. Verizon had previously said it planned to deploy service using the C-band spectrum in the first quarter of 2022, to cover 100 million people. "We're moving full speed ahead with our plans to bring 5G over this spectrum in early 2022," the Verizon spokesman said. But he said the company is still on track to deploy service using this midband spectrum. “By leveraging Verizon's 5G Edge and ultra-light weight AR smart glasses from Vuzix, we are delivering immersive technology in the field of sports training and fan experience,” added Verizon vice president of device technology Brian Mecum.A Verizon spokesman confirmed to CNET that the company has also agreed to a temporary pause in deployment of 5G over the C-band spectrum in order to work in good faith with the agency.
“We’re excited to further our relationship with Verizon to leverage Verizon's 5G Ultra Wideband network and our award winning Vuzix Shield smart glasses to deliver new cutting-edge augmented reality experiences.” "5G and edge compute are important elements to ultimately deliver low latency and optimal performance of powerful smart glasses-based applications," explained president and chief executive officer Vuzix Paul Travers. The two companies will use a proof-of-concept programme that was completed earlier in 2021 which demonstrated the power of Verizon’s 5G and edge computing platform to run applications at the edge of the network using Vuzix smart glasses to deliver improved response time, longer battery life and increased computing capacity. It will focus on the technology advancement and commercialisation aspects of delivering immersive augmented reality training experiences powered by Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband service and edge compute platform and Vuzix Shield smart glasses.
The collaboration will see Vuzix use Verizon’s 5G and edge computing technologies to deliver what it claims will be a first-of-its-kind augmented reality experience for sports and gaming.
