New Delhi, Apr 9 (BNP): The deployment of 5G networks in India is encountering challenges due to potential interference with older aircraft radio altimeters, which are critical for safe landings. Some legacy altimeters are not compatible with 5G signals and could also face issues with future 6G networks operating in the upper C-band (4.4–4.8 GHz).

Bharat Bhatia, president of the ITU-APT Foundation of India, which collaborates with the government and industry on telecom policies, said that replacing these older altimeters is the only long-term solution. However, the process could take time due to similar replacement demands in other developing countries.

Currently, regulatory rules in India restrict 5G operations near airports: within 2.1 km of runway ends and 910 metres of the runway centerline, covering the terminal areas of most Indian airports. These measures aim to prevent interference and ensure aviation safety while 5G networks continue to expand.

Officials emphasized that coordinated efforts between telecom providers and aviation authorities are essential to maintain both technological growth and flight safety. Upgrading aircraft altimeters will be a gradual process, balancing the country’s push for faster networks with aviation requirements.

OrbitronAI has announced the launch of NovaOS, a platform designed to support the deployment and management of AI agents in regulated industries such as aerospace, energy, government and industrial enterprises, enabling organizations to deploy AI within legacy enterprise infrastructure without replacing existing systems.

The system introduces a structured approach to AI operations, focusing on auditability, human oversight, and compliance. NovaOS acts as a control layer on top of existing enterprise systems, allowing organizations to manage how AI agents are deployed and operated without replacing current infrastructure.

 “The bottleneck holding enterprises back from AI is not model quality – it is governance, isolation, and operational control,” said Saul Adomaitis, Founder and Global CEO of OrbitronAI. “NovaOS closes that gap. Regulated industries can now deploy AI agents that are fully auditable, human-supervised, and compliant by design – not as an afterthought.”

The platform is architected around a six-layer value stack in which every agent action passes through policy enforcement, approval gates, and a complete audit trail. Human-in-the-Loop supervision is embedded at the platform level: high-risk actions always require human approval before execution. 

Core capabilities include a visual workflow builder (NovaOS Studio) with pre-built components and natural-language Copilot, enterprise integrations via Model Context Protocol (MCP) Gateway enabling connection to ERP and CRM systems without custom code, and knowledge and document intelligence (RAG) that turns internal data into actionable insights.

The platform also supports persistent cross-session memory across multiple dimensions, an agent marketplace for managing deployments across business units, and full observability with evidence export, ensuring that all actions are logged, traceable, and audit-ready.

NovaOS supports four deployment strategies – Managed Cloud, Bring Your Own Cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), On-Premise, Air-Gapped, and Hybrid – with production regions active in Middle East, Europe, and North America. All deployment options include tenant isolation, data residency compliance, and encrypted communication between services. 

The platform is AI model agnostic, allowing organizations to run agents on the large language model of their choice without vendor lock-in. The platform is designed for organizations where data sovereignty, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 compliance, and Arabic NLP readiness (roadmap Q3 2026) are strategic requirements.
