Airbus Developing Technology to Allow Mobile Phone Use on Planes and in Hospitals

The transcript discusses the prohibition of mobile phone use on aircraft and in certain areas like air bridges and gate lounges due to interference concerns. This restriction is inconvenient for frequent business travelers. Airbus is developing technology to allow mobile phone use on planes by installing mini masts, which could be available in two years. This technology is also suitable for hospitals but not for petrol stations due to safety concerns. The mini masts create low-powered cells to reduce signal strength, but they do not eliminate the risk of battery or static sparks.
