Interesting!

The study I quoted stated that GPS is vulnerable to interference from PEDs as a fact, but it seems they only measured cell service frequencies. Since it seemed to be made by legitimate authors, I took its words.

From what I understand, neither the FAA (US) nor EASA (EU) require aircraft to be in no way affected by PEDs, though they do require a aircraft to be assessed as not affected to allow onboard WiFi or to allow devices with airplane mode turned off.

Thanks for your insight!

Also: out of curiosity: have any aircraft you've worked on been equipped with picocells?

I have not encountered any picocells on aircraft yet. Plenty of airborne wifi service equipment and some wireless mQAR's for uploading aircraft monitoring data once the aircraft parks at the gate, though.

I do specialize in avionics, though. Hence, the more in-depth experience with navigation systems and radios.
