And given the only place to put 5G towers is on the same platforms the helicopters operate it will definitely cause some issues. Time will tell.
Hm.... so, what about testing ? Aviation Week shows pictures of test-chambers for satellites and military antennas. Is it possible that a bit of time in such chambers could be booked to see what happens with real equipment ? Not good to do the testing in the wild outdoors....the city-canyons and so forth.
