We’re used to airlines asking passengers to switch their phones to airplane mode during flights, but that may be a thing of the past.

European Union updated its in-flight communication policy and allowed users to use mobile networks on board.

In particular, it is about 5G networksso passengers can keep their cell phones connected within that range.

“Passengers on board aircraft will be able to use their mobile phones to the fullest with their capabilities and features, as is the case with 5G networks with terrestrial antennas”, indicates the European Commission.

5G on board? This will depend on the airlines.

As clarifies European Unionthese 5G networks they are not the ones we use on land.

Aircraft must be equipped with a “pico cell,” special connectivity equipment that allows users to connect, receive calls, and use both. sms which data.

“Picocell” is usually associated with satellite networkwhich triangulates with a plane and a ground network.

This system is similar to WiFi on board, which some airlines already offer either for free or at an additional cost to keep users connected, albeit with speed limits and latency that are far from ideal.
