5G growth in aviation applications T
Future Market Insights (FMI), which also highlights that this growth will primarily be coming from small cells, because of their better range and 5G signal quality. Small cells are low-power cellular radio access nodes that can operate in different spectrums, with access range between 10m and several kilometers – proving to be an important method for increased connectivity and better signal quality and resilience.
Inside airports 5G technology is widely used at airports, for drones and aircraft maintenance and, also, for passenger communication. The speed of 5G technology is largely
By Future Market Insights analysts dependent on the frequencies used, some of which are used specifically for sending messages in congested areas and for tracking purposes. By using a combination of 5G and small cells, a missing airplane can easily be located and contacted. Inside airports, small cells offer a
he 5G market is thriving in aviation, expected to exceed $7.8bn by 2032, growing at a CAGR of over 26.4%. So states a recent report by
wide range of technical and economic advantages, since they optimise the reuse of the radio spectrum. Small cells can integrate with Wi-Fi to offer much faster connectivity. Also, the combination of these
technologies is expected to enhance mobile broadband, with fast connections used by aviation technical staff and also travellers at airports.
Geo split The 5G market in aviation will be strongest in the US, growing at a CAGR of 25.9% between 2022 and 2032, where the small-cell segment is expected to be the fastest growing, with a CAGR of

some 25.8% for the same period. Proponents of 5G in aviation
are focusing on developing the 5G infrastructure in airports, for better and faster connectivity and to virtually access aircraft log data. Key players in this field are
Ericsson, Nokia, Cisco Systems, Panasonic Avionics, Huawei Technologies, Gogo, Anuvu, OneWeb, Aeromobile Communication, Smartsky Network, Inseego Corp and Intelsat, among the many. Future Market Insights’s report
offers more information, including analysis of the 5G market in aviation based on end use – 5G infrastructure for airports and aircraft operations; communication infrastructure – small cells and distributed antenna systems; technology – enhanced mobile broadband, fixed wireless access and ultra-reliable low latency/massive machine-type communications; as well as applications.
