    I think you may not understand the topic. We have low, mid, and high band frequencies here they’re just being rolled out at a different pace. I didn’t think there was any magic involved, I was just referencing the words that you wrote when you said China has bands that we don’t in the US (incorrect)

    https://www.fcc.gov/5G

    The issue with planes is that the altimeter uses a frequency near the band that was being rolled out and due to a lack of communication between airlines and internet service providers, nobody had tested whether it would cause issues with the altimeters. You seem to have misunderstood this issue as well as no ‘planes fell out of the sky,’ we still have 5G, and planes are still flying. They opted to take the safer route by temporarily canceling flights when they were unsure of the level of interference.

      You’re not understanding what I’m saying. I’m saying the FCC currently cannot roll out other bands because their equipment doesn’t work. Yes, they have plans to once the equipment works, but currently they’re only rolling out mid-bands because that’s all they have. Listing the FCC’s failure doesn’t change that the US hasn’t been able to roll out the entire spectrum where as China did.

        Essentially Huawei’s 5G covers more spectrums than western ones. So you’ll never get the full performance from western 5G

        So when you said the west would “never get the full performance of 5G” because Huawei’s 5G covers spectrums that western 5G does not, what you really meant was the US has the same spectrums available for 5G and are planning a future rollout but currently China has deployed more?

        Can you blame me for “not understanding?”
