Reading between the lines...
Anything better than CAT-I is banned near 5G... so CAT-II+ will be banned at all large airports, which are all rolling out 5G infrastructure in their terminals.
And even if the airports don't have 5G, I'm sure there will be some outside of their perimeter under short final. There has also been ongoing discussion as to whether individual 5G cell phones pose a threat, and I think the jury's still out on that.
This could be a really big poop-show. Especially when combined with GPS interference from that terrestrial internet provider.

Hasn't China been rolling out 5G in a much bigger way than the US for the past couple of years?
Seems like there would be some relevant data on Boeing and Airbus products in use on the Chinese mainland.

There are 3 different bands of 5G. I think we are using different bands than they use in Asia. Could be wrong though.

Lower limit to ensure bandwidth, upper limit to ensure range.

Depends who has a stronger lobbyist corp, the network providers or the aviation industry.
