Airways Safe for Talking

Airways Safe for Talking 07/17/2004 07:49 PM
Qualcomm lofts media, officials to show that plane stays in air while cell phones used: Qualcomm would certainly enjoy having more people using more advanced phones more of the time, and their proof-of-concept with a commercial American Airlines aircraft--but obviously not a commercial flight--out of Dallas/Ft. Worth on Thursday was intended to gather data and allay fears. The fear of cell phones used in the air is certainly a bogeyman: there are a few known, unexplained instances of a cell phone in use that may have affected some airplane equipment, but there's no widely known, widely reproduced instances of cell phones affecting systems. The FCC and FAA are following a better safe than sorry approach. Qualcomm was testing a picocell that was onboard the aircraft. This is the third of these kinds of tests from different firms that I'm aware of from just the last few weeks. The friendly skies will be even more full of chatter soon. While the picocell was 3G, according to the press release, only voice and text messages were used over the system--no pure data. An American Airlines EVP is quoted in the article saying that in-air cell use is about two years away, which conforms with what's being said elsewhere. Industrial-grade earplugs or stereo earpieces--which can be custom-molded for your canals--will probably be a good growth industry for the flying market. Expect to see in-flight magazines half full of advertisements on reducing irritation of adjacent loud talkers....
