Description
Discussion paper on mobile services on aircraft: Institution of Engineering and Technology comments to the Office of Communications (Ofcom).
Abstract In practice mobile phones, and other wireless device technologies, are regularly operated by passengers within aircraft at all stages of a flight. Therefore the manufacturers of aircraft and avionics systems need to ensure that there is technical immunity to such personal devices. It is the Institution’s view that, on the basis that terrestrial networks and the aircraft’s avionic and other electrical and electronic systems are not compromised, GSM phone services at 1800MHz should be allowed.
